Despite a somewhat misleading moniker (the only black kids in Black Kids are siblings Ali and Reggie Youngblood), this debut delivers on its title with tunes so fun and danceable that the "party 'til you puke" cliché could be a prophecy if these songs fuel the soundtrack to an all-nighter. The Jacksonville, Florida quintet was championed by hipster tastemakers Vice magazine and Pitchfork Media after they uploaded the 2006 EP Wizard of Ahhhs to their MySpace page. Subsequently, Black Kids became the darlings of 2007's CMJ Music Marathon. They made the buzz work for them, landing a deal with Almost Gold Recordings and getting former Suede guitar player Bernard Butler to produce and play on Partie Traumatic. The album overflows with fizzing, bubbly, neo-new wave dance-pop, sometimes leaning on bits of '70s glam (the title track sounds inspired by Roxie Music's "Love Is The Drug"), endearing indie twee-pop ("Listen To Your Body Tonight" leans hard on Moog keyboards), and late '80s goth pop ("I'm Making Eyes At You" recalls The Cure's "Lullaby"). The anthemic Go! Team inspired "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You" is even better than its awesome title.
