Boyskout

Label: Three Ring
Genre: Electronic, Punk

I originally posted about Boyskout two years ago when they released their debut. As you can see below, I was quite smitten. I still am...this time by the range and sophistication of their follow-up, Another Life. They go from fragile innocence ("Everybody Knew") to smoldering spite ("Happy Yet?") without letting up on the sexually charged energy. Welcome back, girls.

Original post from 8/25/2004: Boyskout are not boys at all. In fact, I don't even think they are "into" boys, if you get my drift... So why is it that I feel all special inside every time I listen to "Back to Bed"? Because something about their black magic new wave transcends sexual politics and brings out the freak in me.
