Move Your Feet

Thanks to Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, Kylie, Justin, DFA, and hip-hop's discovery of ecstasy, the chilly shadow of American discophobia is receding, taking with it the notions that rhythm isn't a sophisticated quantitative musical value and that wit and charm are disposable frivolities. The latest gem to move both the hips and heart is Junior Senior's joyous disco-soul charmer "Move Your Feet". Deceptively simple but overflowing with hooks and ideas, it's putting in a late bid to soundtrack summer's stretch run. Senior stutters, Junior sparkles, and the world swoons as a previously unknown gay/straight Danish duo delivers one of the top singles of the year. Who could have forecast that? Where will pop greatness come from next-- Russian teenage lesbians? Alleged child pornographers?!
