Telepathe - Dance Mother (CD)

I've got one more review to do but it's my favorite album of the year so far, hence it's up the top of my stack It's 'Dance Mother' by NY ladies Telepathe and i'm in throes of delight! Never have fizzing, wonky synths, clickety off-beats and swirling, dreamy chanting vocals filtered so beautifully into my conscious mind. Their use of tribal-esque & light grime/garage beats is subtle yet incredibly effective, layered waves of woozy keys & magical effects zinging off all over the shop like tiny fireworks, the vocals sweet, dreamy & sassy, It's the perfect melting pot of enigmatic early 80's synth pop, electronic shoegaze melodies with hints later in the record of mid to late period Cocteau Twins all brought into the future with some truly creative breaks & starkissed harmonies! All tied up in a neat bundle by way of Dave Sitek's cavernous, crisp & warm production. Truly the freshest cookies on the stall that is 2009, It's an absolute delight that gets better & better with each listen. They make my head spin. Perfect pop! CD only.....
