While juggling careers as in-demand visual artists, Orange County-reared twins Luke and Joe McGarry have spent several years making music under the apt name Pop Noir. Their songs have reflected the post-punk styles of their birthplace in the U.K. (they covered “Temptation” two years ago), and with 2013’s “Jealousy” EP and on their new single “Don’t Fool Yourself” they open the vein again, bumping along to propulsive rhythms and echoing guitars and coating it all with sheen of synth. Sometimes it feels like 1988 was yesterday.
