...according to our Brian on 08 December 2006.

On the lighter side, we have the brand new (& long awaited!) LP from German electronic pop classicists Lali Puna, one of my favourite bands of  all time. The previous two albums haven't been off my stereo for years. 'Faking The Books' is 11 tracks of classy, sharp & delectable tunage. From the outset yr in familiar & comfortable territory. This band are there primarily to appease fans of Stereolab who were tired of their fave pop band disappearing up that much maligned jazz cul-de-sac. Superb electronics & amazing songs all topped off with Valerie's cool  honey 'n' vanilla vocals. If you have never heard these B4, start with this & work backwards to gain full appreciation of this magical band. On Morr, CD & vinyl.

What their label says...

A band made up of members from projects as central to the guitar-pop scene as The Notwist, Tied and Tickled Trio, Console and more. Valerie Trebeljahr, who started Lali Puna on her own in the late nineties, a duo with Markus Acher (The Notwist, Tied & Tickled Trio) and also to a live band together with Christoph Brandner (Tied & Tickled Trio) and Christian Hei�. The band have already provoked glowing responses from the highest-profile listeners - adored by Radiohead, championed by Andrew Weatherhall, re-arranged by Bomb The Bass, backed by Radioactive Man, remixed by Two Lone Swordsmen.
"Faking The Books", Lali Puna's third album, is a maverick display of pop sensibilities. All the ingredients are there : The killer hooks, the subliminal fusion of generic undertones, Valerie Trebeljahr's alluring vocal delivery that soothes the senses. The amplifiers turned up, the instruments plugged in, the voice placed higher up in the mix and the storytelling edged closer to our confused, lawless, modern version of the world. The songs direct themselves with a pop conviction that isn't afraid to mix vintage synths, vocal effects, garage drum workouts, detroit strums, carefully arranged strings, electronic bass drums and a homage to all the bands that have paved the way for such diversity.
