When it came time to draft the action plan for album number two, July Talk turned to the only focus group that mattered: those sweatsoaked fans slithering up against one another to lose their minds and morals at the band's electrifying concerts. That's the space where the blinding contrasts in July Talk's music-Leah Fay's crystalline communiquÃ©s vs. Peter Dreimanis' three-cartons-a-day bark; greasy southern blues vs. Urbane new-wave cool; sexual tension vs. #cathartic release-collide with thundercloud force, and their new record, Touch, represents it's perfect, lightning-in-a-bottle distillation.
