If there is one decade who's influence never ceases, its the 80s. Although sometimes this might kill any sense of originality from the new reverbers, occasionally there's a combination of old and new that works flawlessly.
The American/Swedish trio Thieves Like Us has been on both sides of this game - sometimes you can hear too much of a resemblence of the band they took their name from (*New Order*, just in case you didn't know) - but with their new single, 'Never Known Love', they are definitely on the good side of it.
The song starts just like any climatic synthpop track from the last twenty years, but when the vocals kick in, the hairs on the back of your neck start to rise and you'll notice the Johnny Marr-alike guitars and you feel yourself merging into it's sexy atmosphere and not wanting to leave.
You can watch a video below that Andy Grier, the singer, put together. Apparently he used some Russian movie about a circus and don't ask me how, but it works very well with 'Never Known Love'. Great comeback!
