White Lies "Death"

As immersed as I am in the music industry, sometimes a band or song slips past you. There really is no way to keep up on everything. So it's always nice to stumble upon a great song even if I am a little late on the ball here. The band is called White Lies and their album To Lose My Life debuted at #1 album on the UK Charts early this year. "Death" is catchy as hell... a chunky baseline, dark feel, and soaring chorus bring to mind Interpol or Longwave for me. Are they doing anything remarkably fresh or different? Nope. But I couldn't care less when the result is this good.
