Operator Please - Catapult

From the wide expanse that is Australia comes poppy-alternative-ish-electronica group Operator Please, making use of everything at their disposal.  Their "Catapult" has been on my radar since it first appeared on rcrdlbl, and since then has been jumping on an off the Top 25 Most Played Wagon.  Here you've got guitars, an amazing female vocalist, a catchy tune, brilliant percussion...an overall "total package" if you could call it that.

The lyrics aren't too shabby either; not too pop and not too alternative.  Just right.  You're sinking ships like a fist through a mirrorball, but that's okay.  You're forgiven.  This is what pop music should be doing right now; bridging wondrous female vocals with riveting guitars.  Give "Catapult" a listen and tell me that it hasn't burrowed a deep hole in your brain.
