The London quintet led by charismatic vocalist Tahita Bulmer returns after two and a half years of silence with "The Optimist", an album full of dark melodies and robust bass lines, in which the composers of the acclaimed "Fantastic Playroom" (from which tracks like "Ice Cream" and "The Bomb" still receive airplay) show that they have brought their dance punk on a new wave tip to maturity, in an unlikely cross between Siouxsie and the legacy of LCD Soundsystem. After months on tour presenting their new LP, the Club returns to Sónar to sow the seed of their updated new rave.
