New York's cutesy-indie-turned-dark-wave trio Living Days is due to release their debut full-length, and from the sounds of its first single, Dance Not Dead will be several styles removed from the debut EP the online indie community refuses to forget: Make Out Room, Vol. 1 (2010). Either way, led by the perfectly punk-yet-romantic vocalist Stephonik Youth, this band's bringing back the right kind of New Wave.
MNDR's recent atmospheric remix of the single is a delicious step in that direction.
