I have been continuing my search for the best online musical freebies and have stumbled across ‘I want you’ by the obviously titled Midlands five piece ‘I am in love’. Despite the name perhaps lacking in uniqueness, this track is really something quite special.
The group were formed only a few months ago in Leicestershire, and seem to have been making waves with regular plays from Huw stephens and the others at Radio One.
With influences ranging from Bloc Party to Freddie Mercury their debut ‘I want You’ which was released through Robot Needs Home in May is an angsty mix of electronic hands claps and synth; impressive haunting vocals and echoing guitars. It has a significant eighties feel and is certainly one to get stuck in your head.
The free download is the Lunar Remix of the track and is more haunting and eerie than the original. The tracks has been slowed but retains the echoing guitars with the addition of repetitive drum beats adding a spectacularly dancey feel.
For a band so new they seem to have already perfected a clear and distinctive sound, creating disasterously catchy choruses over a moody mix of guitars and keyboards.
I am in love – I want you by i am in love
I am in love – Fool Am I? by i am in love
