Summer’s approaching and if you don’t feel it just yet, blast any of of Baby Monster‘s songs and that should do the job. Although they’re mostly known for their remixes of Gorillaz, Ellie Goulding and Foster the People, Daniel Sternbaum and Marty Larson Xu now have new original material to follow up their self-titled 2011 album as they get ready to release their “City of Lovers” EP on June 5. Simply ear candy and recorded by both members in different cities (one in L.A. and one in Portland), their title track makes an appropriate single. “City of Lovers” boasts grinding beats, layered vocals, falsetto harmonies and a synth sheen, not only making it a stunning listen but also a feel-good anthem.
