I’ve been really quite hooked on the full length debut album from Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. entitled It’s a Corporate World. I can’t think of a finer example of electro-pop that’s come out in the last few years. It’s fun and catchy but never makes you feel guilty for listening to it, kinda like Phoenix. It’s “intelligent” pop music if you will (which is almost an oxymoron in American culture today). I saw these guys last summer in Detroit when they opened up for Sleigh Bells and they were fantastic. This is one of the best debuts I’ve heard in a while. Definitely one of my top 10 favorite albums of the year.
