Talking of maverick, fantastic talent spotting genius label Tomlab are unleashing a new album by
THE BLOW, former K
records cult popsters. 'Paper Television' is mischievously sassy,
morphing electronic pop with verve, soul, humour, lashings of fresh
hooks, furiously forward looking production & perfect songwriting.
If
Psapp
were from Portland, Oregon then I think they'd maybe sound a little
more like this. It's all in the minimalist approach
I think. The songs are centered around clicks, pulses, skittering
percussion, schizo bass bloops, manic synth stabs, all the while the
twin pronged, street-smart birdsong vocals twist breathlessly around
this free, magical music with gleeful abandon. It seems to take it's
cue from femme fronted Scando-Indie pop but these two hugely talented
individuals shape all the tunes into something really individual &
ultimately precious. I think we may have found our album of the week
folks! CD/G/Fold LP
