The Pragmatic

The Pragmatic is a sort of twee electro-pop group from Portugal and St. Louis. Or maybe it's the other way around. I'm not sure, as their MySpace is rather vague and inconclusive.

All you really need to know is that their single, "Circles," is quite a lot of moody fun. Broody and contemplative, sluggish and saccharine, but poppy and rhythmic-y all at once. It's a light-hearted pop take on the more depressing genres like shoegaze and hardcore post-punkers.

I like it. They've also done some remix work, which can be found on their MySpace or here. Definitely worth checking out!
