Carefully crafted, environmentally and politically conscious lyrics pervade the album. This is not the stuff of bubble-gum pop music. This is intelligent Rock n Roll. Mickey 3D takes risks in using an eclectic mix of infulences in the music. The combination of Arabian rhythms along with western rock is absolutely addictive. I can’t get enough of “Yalil (la fin des haricots)” (Yalil [The End of Insignificant Things]). This band definitely deserves airtime here in the US.

Somehow, I think Andy Warhol would like this band. They’re not exactly the most original band, but they’ve mastered their sound. Most of their melodies are almost directly ripped of old beatles, serge gainsbourgh, and soul music, but they manage to paste it all together with cheap keyboards, drums machines, and guitars, and make it all sound more fresh and exciting than you’d ever think it could (with a cute french vocalist to boot). Just about every song they produce is catchy and danceable. if you like le tigre, but some of the politics grate on you, and you’re really just looking for something fun (but worthwhile), buy there albums. |
