Love You to Death

In Heartthrob’s wake, the duo refine their nuanced New Wave pop. Love You to Death marks a reunion with producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Ellie Goulding), who helped steer the twins’ 2013 mainstream debut—an album whose ‘80s-indebted effervescence rightly inspired the likes of both Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. The result is a lean yet undeniable set of gauzy introspection (“That Girl”), stark ballads (“100x”), trampoline-like synths (“Boyfriend”), and, of course, titanic hooks (“Faint of Heart”).
