Imagine a female version of the Postal Service, with a twist of 80s New Wave….. picture it…. Yep, I’ll bet Firefox AK popped up in your mind. If it didn’t, it should have. “If I Were A Melody,” Firefox AK’s grammatically correct new offering combines the sweetness of female-fronted pop, with the electro-aggressiveness of industrial.

“Where Are We Going,” the albums lead track, starts off slow, and breaks into a chorus that’s as catchy as a bear-trap, and is followed by the up-beat “Once I Was Like You.”

“Winter Rose (featuring Tgr Lou),” an aggressive techno-bopper blends Stabbing Westward-influenced synthesizer with Euro-pop.

“Flutter Of A Wing” is a dark, brooding, and ambient synth ballad that puts any emo or indie wannabe band to shame. “The River” follows suit with “Flutter Of A Wing,” equally brooding, but slightly upbeat due to the airy underpinnings of piano and synthesized percussion.

“Pushing,” “A Faint Idea,” and “All I Hear,” flow seamlessly into one another, providing an ambient journey through sound. “All I Hear” is also a male/female duet… pretty cool. “All I Hear” fades into “Shero,” another dark and brooding song.

The pop-infused “Lucky” blends the celtic nature of U2 with the aggressiveness of Nine Inch Nails, a beautiful recipe for ambient dreamscapes.

“Everytime I Ride My Bike” closes the album with a bang. Althought I have no urge to ride my bike, I do however have the urge to buy this album… and so should you!
