Mi Ami is one of my favorite bands over the last few years. When I'd scored the opportunity to talk to singer/guitarist Daniel Martin-McCormick for an interview last year, he was very expressive and passionate about pushing whatever sounds he and the band could come up with:

Bassist Jacob Long is no longer part of the band. Now that they're a duo, Martin-McCormick and drummer Damon Palermo have taken on electronics for their upcoming EP, Dolphins. (Try doing a search on the web for "Mi Ami Dolphins," wakka wakka.) "Hard Up" is the first single I've heard from the EP, and I have to admit, they still have a gift for groove even if they've abandoned their noise-punk persuasion.
Martin-McCormick had already been exploring electronic music with his solo side gig, Sex Worker. Maybe this is something he'd already had in mind?
