I am loving this fresh wave of -esque music! seem to be the front-runners, garnering some sweet publicity all year long. I even hear their song, “Too Fake” on JC Penny commercials now. And man, is that a fun song.

Hockey – Too Fake
from Mind Chaos (out October 6th)

There’s a RAC remix of “Too Fake” that I’m itching to post, but I’m not allowed to… so let’s hope it gets cleared soon. It’s fantastic.

Until then, we’ve got a new Hockey music video to watch of their new single, “Song Away.”

Hockey sounds like MGMT? That’s the craziest parallel I have heard in a while. I would say more but I would just end up insulting MGMT.

Yeah. I don’t see the similarities to MGMT. This song is more like Bruce Springsteen-inspired than anything.

Bruce Springsteen? Lol, that’s crazier than the MGMT comparison. Are we hearing the same song?

Anyway, these are great dance songs. I’m a fan now.

I don’t see how an MGMT parallel is that crazy? Though I think an LCD Soundsystem/DFA comparison would have been more accurate.

Yes, yes, DFA/LCD Soundsystem comparison would have been better. I agree.
