Oracle of DelphiTo Lose My Life by White Lies
January 19th 2009 13:36
The London buzz band White Lies have been compared to Editors, Joy Division and The Bravery. On their darkly euphoric debut single, To OLose My Life, there are echoes of early 80s Human League and even Billy Idol and his White Wedding.
A tale of fear and paranoia, sung in black and ominous tones, it's also drenched in glorious retro synths and thunderous drums which give it a fun edge.
When the contagious chorus kicks in with the line: "Let's grow old together and die at the same time" it even reaches uplifting on the emotion-o-meter.
You can imagine the little Emo couple in Hollyoaks singing it to each other at night.
