LCD Soundsystem and it’s the same but It’s The Dare so it’s not.

[@brokengirrafe]

The LCD influence is obvious, but I think that the one reference point everyone in the comments is missing is the debut Calvin Harris album, I Created Disco - the I Destroyed Disco track is just a dead giveaway. Same dance-punk stylings, same indie sleaze, lots of bangers, but also quite messy. Honestly, the best approach for The Dare would be to continue producing for bigger artists. Guess made him a promising upandcomer in the industry, it’d be smart to work from within to bring this style back in fashion, only to return later with a more refined solo effort.

[@cryptiddy]

Dude, spot on! THE most obvious song comparison in the world to me is the Dare's "Girls" and CH's "the Girls". I just hope he doesn't follow in Mr. Harris' path and lose his voice

[@elihookerreese7663]

i like this opinion

[@johncooper4874]

This was my exact thought. The album is pretty much a modern response to ICD. I don't know if it's a popular opinion but I really enjoyed the latter so listening to The Dare does at least make me feel nostalgic.

[@rania9227]

i thought the exact same thing the first time i heard it ! it instantly reminded me of i created disco, only Calvin Harris did it much better in my opinion

[@jordan.p]

glad im not the only one who noticed that reference! early calvin harris is so great

@@YogkogI believe indie sleaze was coined by researchers … what’s wrong with giving things names afterwards?

[@Yogkog]

​@@noa_1104 The term was coined by tiktokers, not anthropologists. And idk, it's bizarre to me that we need a new retroactive term to supplant existing subcultures like...hipsters? Indie rock/indietronica fans? It feels wholly inauthentic and revisionist imo, which is par for the course for Dimes Square stuff

hearing fantano say “dimes square” took a year or two off my life

[@DanDhaniels]

It's more derivative of Calvin Harris' I Created Disco (there's even a song called I Destroyed Disco here) than LCD Soundsystem (ok, Harris aimed at James Murphy back then as well). I see it as what would have happened if Calvin Harris continued on that path instead of becoming a mainstream pop behemoth. I like it a lot and would have given it a 7 😊

[@Julianjazzaaaaa]

I’m really curious to see where Mr. Dare goes from here, I like this album but I do see a lot of flaws with it. I could see him branching out and trying to expand his sound, and then falling into places either his fans don’t like or just don’t feel right, I guess we’ll see what happens

The Dare is basically the Laufey of “indie sleaze”

[@leonsalgeuro]

I'm very frustrated with how much sense this makes.

[@spencerrex2114]

Explain this. Not disagreeing just curious how you arrived there.

[@bassfishbone]

@@spencerrex2114 I’m probably not the best at explaining this, but I think Laufey brands herself as a jazz revivalist. She takes a lot of inspiration from mid-century jazz/pop (which isn’t a problem) but her saying that she is reviving jazz rubs a lot of people the wrong way, since jazz never died.

[@codyadams642]

​@@spencerrex2114They are both heavily inspired by, and poppier interpretations of, genres that peaked in the past.

[@danielcruse6686]

@@bassfishbone i don’t feel like Laufey says this as much as she simply wears her affinity for jazz on her sleeve. It’s more about how the media talks about her that leads to people thinking that way, she’s often dubbed as a “gen z savior of jazz” or something along those lines in the press but I don’t think she would take that label seriously or ever sincerely call herself that

[@josephchung7763]

I just hope with this resurgence of dance punk that the dare seems to have started, that De Lux - Love Is Hard Work gets attention. A crazy good underrated 29 min dance track. They seem to never tour and I live in Ohio 😢

Why is everybody convinced the only thing this album is trying to do is be a 2000s revival? There are some valid points in this review but y'all are so confused abt whether the album succeeds at being something I don't think it's primarily focused on doing. Like it's kind of a satire of a revival I feel like that's sorta the point of the title, he's not really asking what's wrong with new york he's making fun of the vibe of asking what's wrong with new york, but ultimately it's just fun music idk he's having fun. It totally succeeds at being its own vibe in a way everybody is missing by going so hard on comparing it to LCD.
