On their debut album Trip Tease, the electronica-lounge duo Tipsy
seem to get as much pleasure from playing around with their music
as they do playing it. Given that Tim Digulla and David Gardner
were involved in industrial and ambient projects previously, it's
not a surprise that there are bizarre juxtapositions of mood, tone
and texture on this album. What is somewhat surprising is how well
the group's blend of state-of-the art editing and
retro-exotica-sci-fi kitsch works. Songs like "Liquordelic", "Mr.
Excitement" and "El Bombo Atomico" go beyond the intellectual,
studio experiments they could have been, blossoming into hothouse
hybrids that transcend genres and just sound good. The weightless
keyboards and slide guitars on "Space Golf" and "Nude On The Moon"
wink at the Atomic Age's preoccupation with living in outer space,
while "Oops!" and "Grossenhosen" sound like a collaboration between
Carl Stalling, Raymond Scott and the Orb. "Tuatara", "Fuad Ramses"
and "Something Tropical" nod to the exotica trend of the '50s and
'60s. The album's remarkable arrangements feature bouncy drums,
sitars, harps, horns and all sorts of unclassifiable "space"
effects that jell into a collection of songs that are retro and
cutting edge, bachelor pad and launching pad. A must for sound
geeks and space age bachelors alike, Trip Tease is an invigorating
debut that only gets better with each listen. --AMG
