To make things slightly harder for everyone, electro-pop duo MNDR initially made their latest single available via the phone. All you had to do was call a number and listen to the song – an approach last adopted in the 80s when options were much more limited. Of course, this doesn't cut it in 2012 and a poor-quality recording appeared online. Thankfully Amanda Warner and Peter Wade have now released a listenable version, which means the throbbing electronic pulse and sky-scraping chorus can now be enjoyed rather than endured. Warner recently told Spin magazine the lyrics are inspired by kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst, with the chorus built around her only press statement: "Tell them I am smiling and send my greetings." Which lends the song a slightly distressing edge.
