I've been listening to a lot of electro from Australia during 2k8, and it made me yearn for more well-crafted Australian pop electro music. I uncovered a new band called Savage Garden that every blog house fan will learn to love. I would describe them as a mix of Cut Copy and Pnau, highlighting the best elements of each band.

Their hit single is called "I Want You", and it makes me thirsty for Cherry Cola.

Savage Garden also has a soft side, which most modern bands haven't found yet. Writing a slow love song made for middle school dances is one of the most difficult tasks an artist can undertake.

I think 2k9 is gonna be a good year, yall!

Do yall think Savage Garden is 'the next big thing' out of Australia? Will they inspire a generation of electro pop producers that we will eventually get to experience in a decade? I'm excited, yall. Maybe Australia did win the Electro War.
