The Royal Concept: “World On Fire”

If bands could physically fuck, then The Royal Concept are the bastardised offspring of The Strokes and Phoenix. They’ve got the characteristic Julian Casablanca’s drawl, yet rather than composing the vocals over laidback jittery guitars, they’re splashed over broad synth brushstrokes à la Phoenix. This song should be popular enough by summer that it’ll be played out of car windows cruising through Los Angeles, if not, at the least, it deserves to soundtrack a car advert or a phone commercial or something.
