This Is My Summer Song
For the past few years, Australia has been entering dance floors around the world by giving Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun, Midnight Juggernauts, etc... With its first full length,Illumination, Benjamin Plant, the main man behind Miami Horror, promises to join his fellow countrymen in musical goodness, and with Illumination, he has perhaps surpassed his compadres. "Holidays" is an instant dance floor classic. It's a disco-house-funk nugget whose bass line screams of urgency. Like, you urgently need to get on the dance floor and forget about whatever is going on in your life, and cut some serious rug. Lyrically, Plant does an amazing job of matching the music's immediacy. While listening to this track, you can close your eyes and envision an entire dance floor.
