Secret Handshake, Family Force 5

If someone said to you, "Hey, you should totally check out the Secret Handshake. They're, like, ambient electro-emo," what would you do?

There's an indie splash and some pop sprinkles in there too; at times the better songs sound like a teenage version of the Cars. But if you're over the age of 21, it's not going to get you dancin'.
