Album Review
Innerpartysystem – Not Getting Any Better
The build up to a tantalising boundary blurring mini-album is almost complete, with this melting disco-indie single that has a The Whip Vs Tiesto feel, ‘Not Getting Any Better’. Trippy intergalactic synth implants spice up the delving, echoing vocals of Patrick Nisley. The lean is more towards brooding disco than previous flirtations with the heavier side of rock like ‘Die Tonight Live Forever’.
Of the customary remixes, the ‘Sidney Samson Radio Extended Remix’, puts more distance to the vocals, drawing out the synth kick and filtering in an ambient trickle to highlight the meaning, as life without love is contemplated. ‘Dave Aude Radio Edit’, imparts a funk touch and gives a bit more body to the vocals. Bringing to the fore the aching nature of the track. Innerpartysystem are losing no momentum in their colourful genre busting approach.
Rating: 3.5/5
