Let’s Go To War – Life We Live

• 26th Dec 2009

A slightly creepy ‘Casadaga’ era Bright Eyes styled nourish intro’ morphs into a philistine yet comforting, distorted chorus.

This cruising techno tilt of a single shows up the freshness and baseness of Peter-John and DJ Circuit. Creating a edginess akin to Eric Prydz and enough disco energy to keep capture the attention of the likes of the Creamfields organisers.

B-side ‘Burn Down The Disco’, whilst relying a little too heavily on cocky re-iteration of the song title and an edgy bass element. The song does build up in impact to produce the sort of effect that The Rapture and Shy Child would, should they be asked to do a conjoined guest slot on X Factor. Urban sliced hip-hop skirting slow burner, ‘The Whole City’s Got A Cold’ bemoans the narcotic culture and how it is inhibiting people:

“Everybody’s sniffin’ sniffin’… People don’t dance no more all they do is sniff, all they do is sniff.”

The last track especially shows that Let’s Go To War want to bring gyration back, but also that they have something to say. In this credit crunch, P-J and Circuit, cruise around several genres for you, so you don’t have to max out your I-tunes account in your search for variety and, they seem to know what they are doing in each one.
