If their third album had us seeing this duo taking a hip-hop turn, their fourth is most certainly a return to their electro-pop roots. Although it's stocked with only 10 tracks, you'll be happy to take home a record where, while short, every tune is as much fun as the last. "Let's Go" bears a strong resemblance to "Daylight" and although it's always nice to hear something new, sometimes it's just as welcome to have a band stick to what works. The rest of the album follows suit, giving listeners and lovers of this band exactly what had them falling in love in the first place – an energetic, lively and unique sound they've made all their own. "Now" serves as the crashing, dance-y, anthemic tune that you'll want to listen and dance to over and over again. "I Wonder" is yet another fun, upbeat track that's banging, crashing, bell-ringing and, most of all, dance-move inspiring. "Much Too Late" is that high-strung, angry, shouting and absolutely wonderful track that will have you screaming "You don't fucking know me!" right along with Matt.

Worth a Listen: "Let's Go" and "I Wonder"
