Despite guitars being toned down in favor of keyboards and electronic drums, Shoes' Silhouette still retains a lot of the qualities of their earlier releases. While the sound is spare and dry to be sure, the consistency of their songwriting remains strong, with lightweight popsters like "Get My Message", "When Push Comes To Shove", and "Turnaround" taking prominence, though the robotic charm of "Will You Spin For Me" may be the single most irresistible track. Shoes' airy, almost artificial sounding vocals actually make for a decent fit to the approach here, so if you don't mind pure pop with an electronic heartbeat, I'd recommend Silhouette. –Ben
