Little Red hails from Melbourne, Australia and craft the kind of dance rock fellow countrymen Cut Copy have already made familiar to most Americans. They'll be hitting these shores next month to promote their album Midnight Remember but we have a sneak peek for you to enjoy to whet your appetite and get your mouth a' waterin'.

First a word about Midnight Remember in general. The album's first half is filled with buoyant melodies and rhythms and would serve as the perfect soundtrack to a night out on the town. It slowly builds and hits it's peak with the undeniable head boppin' hit-in-the-making "Rock On" and the popping chug of "Little Bit Of Something." After that point the album slows into a more introspective vibe leading us to wonder if these Aussies perhaps party a little too hard early in the evening only to be left with their own thoughts for too many of the twilight hours.

Get a s ample of their early night prep work below with the lovely "Get A Life." What do you think?
