"When You Walk In The Room" - Fyfe Dangerfield

Fyfe Dangerfield, owner of the world's coolest name (aside from maybe, Ron Burgundy) and lead singer for Guillemots has embarked on his first solo outing, and "When You Walk In The Room" is his opening broadside. A rolling, spiralling tale of unrequited adoration, this is quite frankly, solid gold. Fyfe's roaring, growling, Mercury-esque vocals chime perfectly with the jaunty, off-kilter clockwork intro, and accompanied with his signature piano handshake combine for a catchy, outside-of-the-box leftfield indie track.

Fan or not of Guillemots' maddenning pace, this is a more refined, polished version of Dangerfield; reloaded with strutting confidence and an art-rock swagger, "When You Walk In The Room" feels real, raw and pure. This is a concentrated shot of indie-rock/electro-pop crossover, what the label "avante-garde" was made for. Although off the beaten pop track, this is undeniably addictive, illuminating and above all, fantastically upbeat music. I just hope that the rest of the new album, "Fly Yellow Moon", can match this brilliant benchmark.
