The band – charismatic frontman Justin Taylor along with Finnish production ace Jaakko Manninen and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Malina – make positively infectious, funky-fresh disco-pop that, while seeming to play into the current dance craze is absent a lot of knob-twiddling gimmickry of current EDM. Not that Jutty Ranx’s new single “I See You” doesn’t lend itself to the latter; this week’s release comes with five remixes. How it took so long to be released in the U.S. is puzzling, though. Taylor sent us a dance-floor-ready version of the song in May 2012. The release comes via The End Records, which promises a full-length, titled “Discordia,” from Jutty Ranx in the new year. If you’ve been lucky enough to catch one of Jutty Ranx’s club shows here, or saw them last year at Chinatown Summer Nights, you will think: It’s about time.
