Benoit & Sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. In the Washington DC duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending Having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for DFA (the acclaimed Boy Trouble EP) and Visionquest (the lovelorn Where The Freaks Have No Name EP), DC duo Benoit & Sergio return to Spectral Sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. And >Let Me Count the Ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. Tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as Sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that Ive loved.< As the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey.
