If summer 2009 is going to be the summer of ElectroPop, what will the cool kids, for whom the likes of Little Boots and La Roux are “just to poppy”, be listening to?

I’ll tell you what…The Vanish, that’s what!

Effortlessly hip, these two Australian New York residents carry on in the tradition of Midnight Juggernauts and Cut Copy but infuse it with more of a post-punk energy and wrap it up with a bow made from the French, 80’s retro Electro-House, sound.

Actually, it’s interesting that they’re Australians living in New York as they seem to have taken the best bits of Australia’s Modular Recordings’ Indie/ElectroPop scene and New York’s post-punk/Disco sound, à la DFA Records, to produce something truly exiting.

I’ll be expecting at least two pages in the NME soon!

Enough waffle, listen for yourself:

Sure to be a riotous affair when the guys hit the road later this year across Australia and the US (and hopefully the UK!), pick up more from The Vanish below:
