The adorable Brooklyn duo's 2010 debut was all slashing, distortion-mad riffs and bubblegum sass. The new single from their forthcoming LP is a dreamier beast, letting punk-rock cheerleader chants take a backseat to swaying shoegaze beauty that recalls '90s bands like Lush and Curve.  It's a sweet step forward.

“He Will Break Your Heart”

A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
