DANCABLE INDIE ELECTRO-POP and INDIE POP SONGS with MALE VOCALS in the style of "Animal" by Miike Snow, "The Reeling" by Passion Pit, "Canopy" by Painted Palms, are needed by a Hollywood-based Music Library that has gotten TONS of TV placements for TAXI members.

Your song should have a CURRENT-SOUNDING INDIE aesthetic similar to the referenced songs, while NOT being a sound-alike. Most of all, it has to work on the dance floor!

Vocals should have a lot of character and should be audible at all times, even if slathered in reverb. Lyric themes may vary, but must be UNIVERSAL. MALE vocals ONLY! MID-to-UPTEMPO ONLY! Vocal and Instrumental presentation must be top-notch. Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent sounding home recordings are fine). You must own 100% of your master and composition.
