“The Hawk In Paris wants to know if you will go to the dance with them.
Check ‘yes’ or ‘no.’”
So says the bio on their Facebook page, and I can think of no better way to introduce this album. The Hawk In Paris have brought us a disarmingly accessible record that will draw you immediately into its microcosm of shimmering dance-pop. At parts you can’t help feeling like you’ve been whisked away to a royal ball. Or a really sweet dance club.
It’s not that this album is a simple affair: meticulous production and layers of synths are outstanding features of His + Hers. Nope, this album is a full-fledged electronica (Do people even use that word anymore? Legitimate question…) shindig; it’s just so dang catchy that it captivates immediately. Not to mention the charming, earnest lyrics that will just about sweep you off your feet if you’re not on your guard. Judging on those components, I’m fairly sure that going to the dance with The Hawk In Paris would be the greatest date ever. But then again, we all know my prom experience would not be difficult to top.
