Release Notes:
The time has come! They've tempted us with 'Jerk It,' they've
toyed with us with 'Sweet 16,' they've seduced us with
'Nothing 2 Step 2'. Now Isis and Grahmzilla unleash their
monster debut album'. 'Thunderheist'!!
Thirteen tracks of pure goodness, 'Thunderheist' shows that
Thunderheist the band can certainly do club-bangers (try 'Jerk
It' - currently to be heard in Oscar-nominated movie 'The
Wrestler' - for a taste of that) but can do all kinds of other
things rather fucking well as well. The disco shimmer of
'Sweet 16' kicks things off with a message to young ladies
enthralled with the seedier side of the nightlife.
'Nothing2Step2' is a bonafide electronic pop anthem that Isis
refers to as her 'Madonna moment.' 'LBG (Little Booty Girl)'
sees Zilla freak the low end with a digi-crunk nastiness as
Isis tells listeners how ladies can run game despite have less
junk in the trunk.
The massive bassline shuffle, squelchy builds and catchy hooks
on 'Bubblegum' get all backs off the wall, while on 'Slow
Roll' the tempo moves into a slow bodyrocking rap groove.
'Space Cowboy' nods heavily towards Moroder with grand
cascading synths leading to a glorious disco workout for a
fierce lady getting lost in the trappings of a night out
clubbing. Isis tries to keep the night going on 'The Party
After'. The glorious melancholic dissonance on 'Freddie' is
paired with emotional snapshots of getting caught up in the
addiction of poisons (be these powder or people)' On the
electro-flipped 'Do The Right Thing', Isis raps about the
runner game (and we're not talking athletics). 'Red Whine'
takes the listener into a flip on the digital dancehall
territory with the call to twist up yuh self to let loose.
'Cruise Low' is built tough for car systems coast to coast to
coast, synth stabs coming in heavy, double time rhyming
courtesy of the baddest gal on the mic. 'Anthem' wraps things
off with a disco-fied electropop flourish and the reminder
that Thunderheist are gonna be at this for a good while.
Grahm and Isis began Thunderheist as a project to throw a
wrench into static hip hop conventions and explore their love
for the dancefloor. They are far more than an electrorap act
grounded in rap, bass, and electro, but are also entrenched in
disco, funk and R&B, crafting their own, brand new definition
of future pop music. More than anything, 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. Already being played by the likes of Pete Tong,
Annie Mac and Annie Nightingale on Radio 1, huge on Myspace,
loved by Pitchfork and Vice as well as Elton John (actually we
made that shit up), 2009 is set to be a thunderous-ass year
for them. Thunderheist is gaining speed and bandwidth, one
byte per second, and heading straight for tera status. Get
ready for it.
