KID SAVANT

Drop It on the Stereo

Four years after forming in Indianapolis, this electro-rock quartet has finally released its debut EP. The long delay might explain “4 Years,” in which frontman Ryan Weisberger seems intent on putting the past behind him. “Let’s let loose and forget,” he sings, but the band—now based in Brooklyn—sounds neither loose nor forgetful. All pointy guitars and walls of synth, “4 Years” recalls the soaring, earnest New Wave of the Killers’ 2006 Sam’s Town, a record that clearly left its mark on this band. On the title track—a lament about keeping up with “a world moving faster and faster”—Weisberger is the most anxious guy on the dance floor, but he’s still having killer fun.
