The Cars Return With “Move Like This”

The great band from the Eighties is back. It’s not the “New Cars” sort-of thing that they did with Todd Rundgren either. This is the real thing. Well, except for the one member that died. This might just be the reunion of the year!

From the All Music Guide:

The Cars’ disbandment wasn’t necessarily fractious but their afterlife sure was, with the band itching to reunite while their lead voice and face, Ric Ocasek, opted out. Bassist Benjamin Orr died of pancreatic cancer in 2000, but that didn’t slow the desire for a reunion. Guitarist Elliot Easton and keyboardist Greg Hawkes took matters into their own hands in 2005, joining forces with Todd Rundgren and associates for the not-bad-at-all New Cars, and that seemed to be the end of the story until 2010, when all surviving members — Ocasek, Easton, Hawkes, and drummer David Robinson — headed into the studio with producer Jacknife Lee, who also pinch-hit on bass, to cut Move Like This, an album that defies all odds by sounding exactly like a classic Cars album.
