Enjoyed Those Looks, LP Service...I'll check out their album. I heard a vague '70s-ish sound, as well, but tough to really pinpoint a definitive influence. A tad heavier Renaissance? A less-playful Blondie?
Responding to your open call for "looking for some kind of music analysis engine that maps a song to what it might have been inspired by — ex. hits of the ‘70s and ‘80s," I can't offer anything except my brain, that managed to hear a large majority of product, late '60s thru early '80s (thanks to my vast access to...and listening to...promotional copies of LPs that never got airplay...anywhere, and thus, lie completely unheard by most).
In fact, it's that resource which informs most of FR&B's "Inside Tracks," "Audio Autopsy," and "GROW BIGGER EARS." I know you could've lived without my coming here to dispense with shameless self-promotion, but feel free to pick my brain with such questions...sometimes I'm more reliable than Google! Catch me while I still have my long-term memory!
Back to your request, and sadly, more self-promo (but seemingly fitting to your previous request: Tomorrow (Monday 11/14) FR&B will be dropping a new article revealing (thru copious research and connecting musical and genre-specific threads) the seeds of disco.
Yes, the likely first song (released in the early '70s...specifics in the article!) that lit the fuse of the mid- thru late-'70s disco boom will be revealed! Documentation, evidence, and song files galore will accompany.
That may not answer your ultimate question (or come anywhere close), but short of providing an actual "music analysis engine" for an entire decade, I'm hoping to provide, at the very least, the ability to expose a thru-thread to subsequent disco hits from about 1974 onward with "The Birth of Disco Uncovered"! Hope you enjoy, and thanks again!
