When Kate Boy debuted with the song "Northern Lights" three years ago, they joined a group of synth-pop oddities enraptured by the Knife. Their long-gestating debut hits the same targets as that song: Kate Boy love pounding synths and a good shout-along chorus, and so every song on One has both, a technique that is exhausting as often as it is potent.

A collision of the old and the new, the Swedish trio's debut is a wonderful homage to their heroes, if not wholly original.
