Jive Talk is a Nashville based band that plays melodically strong indie pop with apparently a great deal of affection towards '80s synth pop. They seem to enjoy features commonly associated with that vintage sound: woozy riffs set against sturdy dance beats, layered bright synths, an occasional fluffy feel, and a healthy dose of reverb. Their ability to effortlessly string together catchy and well-grounded tunes is an obvious strength. It is bold and confident music that is instantly accessible and the band is comfortable playing it loose and airy, then taking a dramatic turn, which they tend to do in measured ways without necessarily going fully anthemic.
