Release Notes:
After laying waste to Europe on their recent tour (Isis took a
particular shine to Belgian boys), Thunderheist return with
their first full release for Big Dada, the buzz for their
eponymous debut album growing by the minute.
"Sweet 16" is a perfectly judged slice of disco-punk, producer
Grahmzilla hooking up a beat which sounds like the Clash
hanging out at Studio 54 while Isis tells of the joys and
dangers of being sixteen and ruling the dancefloor. It's not
clear whether the "natural stage genius" (Time Out) is
encouraging under-age sex, cautioning against it or just
suggesting engaging in some healthy exhibitionism. Whatever
the message she makes it sound great.
"Cruise Low" is as low-slung and bass-heavy as you'd expect
from the title, Isis whispering about popping the trunk with a
mixture of enticement and threat. Bonus track "Whateveruneed"
is an epic instrumental electro-symphony from Grahmzilla's
hard drive. NY mover and shaker Eli Escobar rounds out the
package with a mix of "Sweet 16" which harks all the way back
to "Planet Rock."
There's something infectiously unpretentious and genuine about
Thunderheist. They like going out and having a good time and
have made the records to reflect this - party music for people
who really like partying. 2009 is set to be a huge year for
them. This is just the start.
