I have a new favorite album: “Slow and Steady Wins the Race” by the Brooklyn duo Jonka. A husband and wife team (redundant), I first came across their music through a link to their MySpace page on the Stuck in the 80s blog. After playing a couple of the tracks, I decided that buying the CD was something that I needed to do, and I’ve been listening to it non-stop since it arrived in the mail.
Normally if I was writing about an album, I would recommend specific tracks to listen to, but this whole thing is so damn foot-tappingly catchy that I’m just telling you to go buy it right now – especially if ’80s-influenced electronic pop is your thing. It’s also on iTunes, for those of you who are too good for Compact Discs. Now that I think of it, I would love to own this album on vinyl. Hint, hint.
