Ears Wide Open: THRIFT

THRIFT

Forget the trends, the hype, and the breezy pop tunes for a second. If all boy-girl duos were put to the ultimate survival-of-the-fittest test, Los Angeles-based THRIFT would swallow all synth-pop duos whole and spit them back out in the time one hits the power button on a Korg. Members Anna Carmela and Mark Malagise call their music “dirty disco” and with full-throttle songs like “Warning Signs (Dirty Lover)” off 2013’s self-titled EP, one can’t disagree with that self-branding. With Carmela sounding like a sweeter Tracy Bonham, THRIFT offers no-nonsense rock with just enough of a hook to spill out with the noise.
