Alphabeat! *muted applause*

Unexpectedly my Pitchfork review of Alphabeat has gone up!

Feel free to castigate me if this has been up on Poptimists before, but this is the Pete Hammond remix of "Boyfriend", pointed out to me by koganbot (who reps for the superb longer - oh, what the hell, call it by its name, TWELVE INCH - version). It's my favourite Alphabeat thing.

Nice beat, but as your article observed, the self-consciously over-retro nature of it all is frustrating. I liked the first 20 seconds but was bored by the second minute.

Plus the bunny-boiler quality of the lyrics is a bit unappealing.
