We have all been there, awkwardly trying to navigate the intricacies of dancefloor etiquette. Well, indie duo Tomode have also been there, and they are here to let you know that with the help of new track “Conversation Starter”. Overflowing with retro-tinged 80s synths and groove-laden beats, the track hopes to infect listeners with a dose of feel-good energy, the type that will transport you to the dancefloor in question. Looking to disco giants of the past such as ABBA and Chic, the Stockholm-based duo instantly ushers us into a joyous soundscape, one that also hosts a narrative on that stomach-turning experience of trying to strike up a conversation on the dancefloor.
“With ‘Conversation Starter’, we wanted to express that inescapably uncomfortable feeling of striking up a conversation with someone at a party, and it just not clicking,” the duo explains all too relatably. “Hopelessly out of place on the dancefloor, just trying to say the right thing.”
So, should you find yourself fending off any pre-party anxieties this weekend, we think Tomode’s latest single is the perfect remedy.
