Ex-Crush - all boys break hearts

Its the modern world and i am equally very retro and and modern web savvy (which considering i've earned my living from web design for the last 15 years is just as well). I noticed that Bubblegum Records have a number of download-only singles for sale so i got a couple considering they were very cheap so what is to lose? Ex-Crush features two people from the Just Joans apparently but as i don't really know that other band very well i'll not mention it.

Anyway i love the title track of this single! Its all lo-fi electronics with an infectious pop beat. Appealingly sardonic female vocals drive the whole thing along. The perfect soundtrack to the early Summer. "The biggest buzz" is quite different, male vocals for a start. Guitar driven but still very poppy and quite groovy infact. This is Ex-Crush's debut single and its quite frankly brilliant.
