Muscles - 'Ice Cream'

Often with dance music the lyrics, if present, are either barely recognisable or don’t comprise of more than a couple of repeated lines. Melbourne’s Techno-tyke Muscles takes a different approach, pasting story telling vocals over rave-infused backdrops. It’s a pretty good combination of melody and out and out trance music, if you can ignore some of the more oddball lyrics: “Ice Cream is gonna save the day,” for instance, in the chorus. Despite a couple of questionable lines, mostly the lyrics are strong, and ‘Ice Cream’ is an infectious track.
