Let's Get Big - New Music Monday

I know, I know, this New Music Monday is coming a tad later than usual, but no worries, I have your new music!

This week's song comes from a British band was first known as Fear of Flying. In October 2007 they posted on their MySpace (Remember MySpace, that thing that everyone used to use before Facebook came along? Yeah, that MySpace) page, "Fear of Flying is DEAD... White Lies is alive!" That's when their sound got a lot darker and (supposedly) a lot more mature. They seem to have a split music-ality (your music personality); one is very indie-pop and is compared to bands like Franz Ferdinand and The Killers, while the other is a darker sound, like Arcade Fire and Interpol. There's even a bit of 80s sound, like Tears For Fears.



I myself hear a little Duran Duran in the guys voice, but maybe that's just me. The song is "Bigger Than Us" by White Lies. I love the video; it's odd, layered with pieces of a puzzle I haven't yet put together. Watch and decide for yourself. And be careful- it makes you want chocolate!
