Sporty Thieves




Everybody wants to be cool, right? At the very least, every young person wants to be cool, and thinks they're a little bit cool, even if they're not. And what's cooler than music that creates some kind of hedonistic urban landscape fueled by carelessness, recreational drugs, and lip gloss?

Not a goddamn thing.

The 2/3 Swedish, 1/3 American trio of Thieves Like Us came together in Berlin as a reaction to a eurotronica propelled night culture that they didn't understand. The music sounds about as slick as anything else, with despondent vocals about searching and waiting, with an infectious beat thrown in.
