After four years, countless hit remixes for the
likes of Morcheeba, Tiga, The Kills and Playgroup,
three huge preceding singles and a lot of blood,
sweat and tears Chicken Lips return on SW London's
Adrift Records for their third studio album.
Entitled "Making Faces", this album is the
production duo's first foray into full vocal
territory and sees the veteran producers explore
their soul, dub, funk, electro and disco leanings
in their own inimitable style.
Teaming up with Spanish-based vocalist, Jonny
Spencer, Stafford's (UK) Dean Meredith and Andy
Meecham have yet again created a masterpiece, but
for the first time songs are a key element of each
and every track. Spencer's ability to sound like a
wonderful mixture of David Bowie, Prince and
Curtis Mayfield is pure aural delight while his
songs are both vivid, surreal and packed with
emotion as well as hooks.
'Thematically speaking, these songs are about
love, upheaval and anxiety and overcoming the
latter through the power of the former two. In
short; changing your way of life can really put
you back on the good foot and give you the
opportunity to see the world from a new
perspective.' comments Spencer on the
rollercoaster of vibes and emotions on the album.
From the absurdity of "Sweet Cow" to the rousing,
pick-me-up vibe of "Aim Fire" via the sexual
undertones of "Loving Cup" - the lyrical content
and production of "Making Faces" is a fresh twist
on some of the most innovative sounds of the past
forty years.
From conquering the rave scene of the late '80's
early '90's as Bizarre Inc. to pioneering today's
electro-house and punk funk sounds as Chicken
Lips, Meredith and Meecham are one of music's most
influential partnerships and "Making Faces" will
only further that reputation.
THIS IS NOT THE JAPANESE EDITION WHICH HAS FOUR
BONUS TRACK.
