The reincarnation of Bronski Beat?

Think Bronski Beat.
Disco has never gone away. Case in point is Bronski Beat. Their style of 1980s disco featured falsetto vocals and entirely synthetic music.
It was catchy but cold.
One of the surprises of my recently completed BIRTHDAY WEEKEND was the discovery that this 1980s style of disco has returned, in the form of New York hipsters HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR.
I played their recent single "BLIND" throughout the morning.
It is catchy and bubbly and propulsive -- all the things you want from a disco song, I suppose.
Like Bronski Beat.
