Highly melodic synth pop heavily influenced by late 1980s British artists. The songs on Stop Heartbeat remind us very much of Fine China and Joy Electric. But wait...there's a reason for that. The Foxglove Hunt actually is the duo of Rob Withem (of the band Fine China) and Ronnie Martin (of the band Joy Electric). Withem writes most of the music here and Martin handles the programming. The end result...is an extraordinarily nice, smooth, upbeat collection of tunes. These two guys obviously share similar tastes in music and this collaboration is like a match made in heaven. In addition to original tunes, there is also a decent cover of The Psychedelic Furs' "Love My Way." Cool danceable upbeat cuts include "A Concealed Weapon," "Business Casual," and "The Pure In Heart." We'd be willing to bet that these guys will be working together again in the very near future... (Rating: 5 out of 5)
