    It's unsurprising that the bio mentions Roxy Music, because parts of the background resemble Roxy Music's sound, and then there's the crooning style of the lead singer...so reminiscent of Bryan Ferry's style. I like both.

    Catchy song. Love the bass line. The video is what really hooked me. I see it in my mind every time I listen.
