If you enjoy simple pop songs and see synthesizers as legitimate instruments you will probably really like Forest World's new 6-song EP "Super Bright Skullz." The local electropop duo Sam Dickens and Sean Ivins already have a few releases under their belt, this one showing that they know their sound and do it well. There are some songs that are difficult not to dance to with their simple, catchy hooks and beats. Or, if you're not exactly in a dancing mood there are also a couple slower, more laid-back ones such as "Jodie Jensen."The use of vocals is pretty minimal but just when you think you're almost synthed out their clear voices come back, sounding so nonchalant that you forget there was even an absence. There doesn't seem to be too much to the songs, and of course it takes a lot of work to make it sound like that, but therein lies the beauty of this EP. Sometimes you don't want complications, you'd rather just dance or chill. It's definitely worth a listen, and their live shows are a lot of fun, too.
