Electric Eel: Karin Park’s danceable, dark Europop, “Thousand Loaded Guns”

Jordy Kasko July 12, 2012 0

We first heard from ANGO, a.k.a. Montreal’s [AN]drew [GO]rdon MacPherson, on last November’s “Better for You,” a warm synthpop tune that I was surprised to find I couldn’t put down.  Following that, MacPherson teamed up
