TRACK REVIEW: Secret Weapons, “Something New”

32A

Brooklyn-based Indie Pop duo, Secret Weapons, premiered their debut single, “Something New” today, hitting the blogosphere and garnering ubiquitously positive reviews. The track delivers infectious, high-gloss pop melodies, driven by anthemic vocal lines and addictive electric drums. Drawing references from the late ‘90s boy band ethos, the track is simple in its conceit yet deft in its execution, were the Backstreet Boys to be resurrected for the Millennial era of electropop production: these guys are definitely on to something so old, yet so totally new at the same time.
