The Norwegian fusoid jazznut drum twiddle merchants from the land
of the midnight sun. magic mushrooms, busty valkerie characters and
non-ironic beardage return. And how they return.
ôDayö was one of the finest moments of catchy goodness from their
recent ôStixö album, mixing up as it does, sunny acoustic guitar,
super sharp shooting double bass and the kind of ratchetted,
precise drum and bassiness that gives you a dancefloor hernia. Oh,
and some sweeping strings. Those kids, those crazy kids.
Not content with a reprise, they throw in ôTwo Things,ö a brand new
track which ups the glitch quotient until you feel like your brain
is skipping but in a deeply felt and rather melancholy sort of way.
The musical equivalent of watching a French film in which very
beautiful women decide that life is no longer worth living.
After which, the remixers are unleashed. The ever-so-famous
Herbert, who having spent years crumpling up balls of paper, has
found international acclaim with his big band, comes through with a
really very sly and rather wonderful take on the original, with a
clown car middle 16 and the kind of rhythm which sounds like an
aerobic workout for machines who are much cooler than you and all
your friendsà
Last but not least, come the one the only DAT Politics, who start
off by making a cup of tea and end up clicking up your life into
some kind of hymn. The trio from Lille are becoming renowned at the
less erm, rigorous/abstrract end of the glitch spectrum and if this
piece doesnÆt put a smile on your face, well then sod off and
listen to your Eric Clapton records. Or make a cup of tea. Or take
some magic mushrooms. Orà well, you know what we mean.
