Thief is the new project of PJ Wolf, who previously winned the Triple J Unearthed Top Song competition. Thief officially started in August with the release of “Broken Boy”, but we discovered him more recently, as his EP “Closer” just came out. He makes electronic pop, and has already been compared to Metronomy, N.E.R.D., Justin Timberlake… It’s hard to put a genre on it, as The Guardian said, “He robs from all the right sources…”.
The EP is made of 4 tracks, I especially liked the title track “Closer” (that you can download for free), which comes with a colorful and funny video. Good surprise, the duo Set Mo that we’ve been following with great interest remixed the track. They turn it into a catchy piano driven house, also downloadable for free!
