Myspace // "Cryptic" [mp3]

Transatlantic duo Pin Me Down have been around, at least as an idea, since 2004 when Bloc Party's Russell Lissack met Milena Mepris, whose old band Black Moustache had played the support slot that night in New York. They've become best-pen-pals-forever, keeping in touch and making music across the expanse that is the Atlantic Ocean. "Cryptic," which takes on early '90s indie dance in a new and refreshing way, is a guilty pleasure which really shouldn't be so guilty at all.
