Great debut of the 4 pipiolos London with a pint of "weirdos" pulling back. But leaving bands appearances, have made a product developed, mature, elegant and subtle improper about kids who just turned 20 years old. A marvel to be enjoyed in peace. This album has been a revelation in the list of the best albums of 2009, while present at the top of all the major lists. Disco
vocally impeccable with the duality of the beautiful, whispered, suggestive, velvety female voice Madley Romy and more serious male voice and guitarist Oliver Sim. We find post-punk tracks close mostly and almost ambient chill-out , dark, hypnotic, minimalist and elegant, with ethnic and mystical air, very low light electronic arrangements and simple melodies on guitar basically all taps. A discovery, however, for those who want cane this is definitely not your group. Let
His themes:
1. Intro: instrumental introduction fantastic oriental air. The best of the disc.
2. VCR : song whispered by Romy Madley and Oliver Sim, very powerful bass and a nice melody xylophone.
3. Crystalised : the most famous theme of the album. Post-punk theme very dark but the liveliest of the disc, where again the voices of Romy and Oliver are a lot of play. Simple but effective guitar riffs that will inscrescendo. Has been the subject of many remixes making it accessible to the dance floor.
4. Islands : relaxed theme with elegant guitar riffs and subtle percussion that gives a much faster pace chill-out. To define it, supreme elegance.
5. Heart Skipped A Beat : again the game of voices from Romy and Oliver is the key of the song, on another smooth guitar riffs and a subtle role of a drum machine. Quiet, but in the end is encouraged.
6. Fantasy : undoubtedly, the most experimental album. Dark, mysterious and air space, makes this short track bridge in the middle of the disc. Only issue Sim Oliver sings solo with much use of reverb , although it is more spoken than sung. The most expendable item on the disc.
7. Shelter : Another elegant theme, which is unique that is also the only track that sings solo Romy Madley, in a magnificent performance and suggestive. Like Islands, but more mystical and sinister air. Very reminiscent of the best tracks from Bat For Lashes .
8. Basic Space : electronic percussion air are clear ethnic protagonists of this issue, more than an extraordinary power of the bass. Very chill-out, again the game is amazing voices.
9. Infinity: The longest track on the album with more than 5 minutes. Quiet and nice, but very dark ballad, another quiet and haunting guitar riffs. Again electronic percussion resurfaces. The vocals of Oliver is very reminiscent of Chris Isaak .
10. Night Time : personally, the best song on the album and more lively with Crystalised. Again, conjure the elegance of another beautiful guitar riffs which guesses an almost imperceptible touch funk, gentle percussion that gives a rhythm addictive, and a chill-out room sleek and elegant. A delicatessen, which gives a light touch to the album but not out of the darkness.
11. Stars : quiet epilogue with a starring role of low and light touches of piano. Velvet voices accompany us to the final a nice way.
