The latest product of the hype machine, White Lies make their full-length debut with a sound that does justice to 80s goth-dance bands like Depeche Mode. Critics cite Interpol, the Killers, the Editors and Snow Patrol as modern references, but those old enough will be able to pick out top notes of Ultravox, early Tears for Fears, Duran Duran and U2, Big Country and so on down the shoulder pad. To Lose My Life is indeed a very danceable pop gem. It would be almost criminal if it wasn’t a radio hit somewhere in the world… Using that as a standard, White Lies does actually have the potential to create some of the biggest indie dance-floor hits of the coming years.
