Dude from Sleepy Jackson and a chap from Pnau.

It's very very good.

Interestingly, this whole 80's revival thing was foretold by Estonian band Rufus as early as the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest:

INCREDIBLE song.

Very very decent album, couple of shit tracks let it down.

Funny and very accurate review on Pitchfork today:

"No wonder people buy individual tracks rather than full albums these days-- few buzzes die so abruptly as in the transition of the complex, ethereal melodies of "We Are the People" into the following cut "Delta Bay", which sounds like "Thriller" sung by cats."
