New single from Jean-Philip Grobler, who is known by his stage name St. Lucia, called "Dancing on Glass". The track is currently under CNM on both Alternative and Triple A formats and it goes for adds on the latter on November 2 according to AllAccess.

Love it as well. 80s New Wave vibe? Check. Synthesizer orgyfest? Check. Download? Check.

Think I preferred their (his?) last single "Elevate" to this.
Still, nice to see the new wave revival in full swing.

This song has a complete 80's vibe. I really like the sound. The vocals are "eh."

I think his singing is just fine TBQH, but all things considered, when you have such a great powerful 80s melody going for you like he does here...you almost have to be trying for a complete trainwreck in order to even come close to that.

He peaked with his first song, "All Eyes on You" (which is amaaaazing)
This sounds like mediocre indie that gains moderate traction on theHypeMachine for a week or two and disappears into oblivion.

Indeed. With a instrumental like that, it's hard to go wrong, unless you're TRYING to screw things up. The song is New Wave 101, so, naturally, I liked it. |

I love this. Reminds me of old Passion Pit and Nu Shooz "I Can't Wait".

Finally got around to listening to this, and I like it. I liked "Elevate", and I remember hearing something else from the album when it came out, but I'm not sure which one it was (I think it was an instant grat for the album; not this). Sad to see this is done after doing nothing.
