"Talk Like That" was the third single from Apocalypso, the second album by Australian electronic duo the Presets, and it hit the shops in September 2008. Julian Hamilton wrote the words and shared the music with Kim Moyes, and Moyes has summed it up as calypso-flavored house dressed in strange church-style organs, tom-toms straight off a techno record and a bassline with serious nerve.
That's about right: it's a club track with a sneer, all clattering drums and strut, buffed up in the mix by John Fields. The French directing pair Jonas & François shot the video.
