As we turn our head to the side and delve away from our usual banter for a minute please let us introduce you to New Models. They are a pop sensation hailing from the nation’s capital that has had us singing along for months. We dare you to not sing along too.

Ever wonder what a charged ion might sound like synthesized? The sonic ballet that takes place on "Molecular" creates an apt crucible of sensual chemistry that must take place when bonds are formed and broken, when radicals run free. Your ears will thank you for the impromptu lesson.

Think about the best dance party you’ve ever attended. Think about what it feels like to unassumingly sway with the beats and the bass of a track that seems to breed good tiding. You’ve just thought of "Devotional." With its irritable charm and character, this track waves and crests like a precious drug, but doesn’t let you crash if you just press repeat.

When the world ends, the dance floor will be the place to spend your last minutes. And with any luck, some preternaturally gifted DJ will be spinning "When the Stars Burn Out." The track is a celebration of instrumentation, with all your favorite techno gurgles, but replete with a wonderfully distorted guitar, vocals, and sweet and sour lyrics. Maybe the end of the world won’t be that bad.

"We’re all just a bit uncertain, behind our walls of glass” wails the vocal track in New Model’s more somber "True," With a cacophony of ethereal synth-noise behind brusque vocals, "True" lets us into the rich depths of New Model’s versatility. Sure, they can make us want to dance, but they can also make you start to panic. Sometimes you love someone too much. And sometimes there’s art that captures the splendid sorrow of love unrequited.

On "Surrender," New Model’s explore the most captivating and all encompassing facets of human emotion with the dulcet verve that dares the listener to revive old, bad feelings… and secretly enjoy them for once.
