London Transit’s new forthcoming EP, Fake Figures

London Transit‘s latest effort is called Fake Figures, and it’s available on January 1. (Here’s my review of the band’s 2009 album, Digital Kid.) I’ve just copped a sneak peek of Fake Figures. It’s still shiny, sleek electro-pop — which is fading out of style, fast — but it’s more symphonic and euphoric than the sparse, stark bleeps and bloops of Digital Kid. Two years is a long time to refine a sound that’s been fermenting since The Postal Service’s debut album in 2003; but shades of Passion Pit, Hot Chip and Cut Copy flash-forward the local pop band’s electronic compositions into the present. Fans of cotton candy-colored synths and brain-worming melodies will dig London Transit’s latest efforts.

Check out a preview of the band’s EP after the jump.
