Australia is blessed with a number of electropop male duos and another has arisen in the form of sounditout. Their self-titled EP is a fantasy of shifting moods and rhythms. Opening track Die Young Tonight invites the listener to plunge into reckless hedonism while Distraction takes on a more sombre tone. Control, with its sinuous, snake-like beats, contains an alluring concoction of rhythms that make it the highlight, while Circumstance imparts a feeling of menace, taking on a more serious geopolitical theme about the problems of post-colonial Africa. sounditout is very danceable, however at this stage their music lacks the mesmerising quality that makes artists like The Presets such stars.
