s/t EP
Songs I Wish I Had Written
Unarmed Enemies are the latest signing to new Swedish label, Songs I Wish I Had Written. Unarmed Enemies make the best electronic music in that it has melody, humor and a warmth to it, unlike groups like Ladytron. This humor arises in "Hustlers recharged", where the narrator of the song ponders what it will be like to be fifty years old, have no hair and appalling taste in clothes. This track is also given the remix treatment on the EP by the name-droopingly hip Mr. Suitcase who transforms it into a Europop monster. Right, I'm now off to start my petition to get their cover version of The Go-Between's "Going blind" released.
