"This Boy's In Love(1)" is one of the more poppy moments on the Presets' Apocalypso full-length, albeit poppy in a very Presets fashion. The drums are still cold, the synths still sinister and chugging, but the lovesong lyrics and saccharine backup vocals give it a decidedly 80s slant. If the OG is a little too Depeche Mode for you, this 12" gives you options: there's a plonging minimal remix from Jori Hulkkonen(2), a housey rework by remixer of the moment Lifelike(3) and a more bare-bones edit(4) by Presets drummer K.I.M. with a vocal breakdown perfect for mixing. Oh and thanks to Modular for the info in the fine print: "DO NOT EAT."
