Escort, self-titled

The debut from this New York dance outfit--which apparently comprises 17 members, fronted by singer Adeline Michele--dropped digitally in November but doesn't get a physical release until Jan. 31, 2012. In any format you'd be wise to grab an album this infectious, turning classic samples and disco grooves into a blend that leaves dance floors not giving a damn what year it is, as long as they're moving. -- Matt Pais
