FNR prepares for Chromeo's offbeat, danceable stylings
Lately, a strange yet invigorating '80s-esque dance song has been blaring out of what at first seems to be your standard-fare McDonald's commercials designed to appeal to an urban demographic. While taking on the flavors of the bouncy, catchy beats of the "Me Decade," there is something a bit deeper, a bit more reflective and a bit more lyrical to this music. It has subtlety and a somewhat disconcerting sense of sincerity, in contrast to ironic '80s-throwback bands like Fannypack and Junior Senior. It is distinctively out of place within the confines of a McDonald's ad, and some may find themselves asking, "What is this music?"
