Secret Weapons members Gerry Lange and Dan E. have been friends and musical collaborators since high school. The duo bonded over guitars and were frequently excluded from classes thanks in part to their pop superstardom daydreaming taking precedence over maths and science. 'Something New' is the first full single under their Secret Weapons alias, having spent a full year locked into writing and recording sessions. It's easy to see why the track is already a viral hit on Spotify with just over a week on the clock. Positively oozing with distinctively '80s calling cards - polished, bouncing drums, chintzy high-gloss synth riffs, funk guitars - 'Something New' will 100% appeal to fans of MGMT's earlier, more accessible work and the swooning, soaring synthpop of Hall and Oates. A gem of a debut. - DC
