Fail Forever is an admirable synthesis of the rigidities of dance music and the vicissitudes of pop. Like a night bus ride, it can be simultaneously mindless, frightful, and perversely beautiful.

This Canadian outfit’s second album Society is geared to lubricate dance limbs and aid insobriety with plenty of synth action, but it runs out of puff fairly quickly.
