New dance track from MINKA on Impose

MINKA, the four piece dance machine out of Philly, have returned with new music. Earlier today, they premiered their new track, "Josephine," over at Impose Magazine and there's never been a better time to turn it up loud and cut loose with the carefree dance pop. The guitars are jangly and tight knit, undercut with a groovy 70s bass line, and cymbals and high hat magic shimmery magic. The vocal delivery has a bit of James Murphy spin during the verses, but then ascend to funky falsetto for the choruses. Take a listen below.
