A beautiful, fresh and surprising album from
Norman Bambi, half of Juicy Panic and
Ponpoko: between Stock, Hausen & Walkman,
Max Turner, Gangpol und Mit and Beck 96'!
Forget everything you knew about this nightmare
called "data-pop": forget all the 27th years old whitetes
hetero nerdy citizens making music in their tiny flats,
with guinea pig vocals, and absolute lack of any
glam.
Here comes something from the true wild
countryside, where fantasy escapes from the farm,
where humour merges with lyricism, where
compositions and computer share the same
purpose, where delighting sounddesign never
disturbs the songwriting.
With such a baseline, there is not a single track
you'll find old-fashioned two months later, thanks
to an awesome sense of composition, strongly
inspired by 40 years of the best backyard pop
items, from Milton Delugg to early electronics,
from the best of japanese pop (with a tribute to
Chiku from Tama) to Morricone landscapes,
from country-smurf to cosmo-surf.
Although the trailer gives a good overview, listen
to the full "psychotic interstellar catastroph" or
"further west of space" will introduce you the
unique way this guy can drive an instrumental
upside down all along 6 astonishing minutes.
The raw vocals from the early Juicy Panic album
have turned to nowadays beautiful smooth voice ,
with a true universe developped along classy lyrics.
Rarely the digital playground has been used in such
a deeply fresh way. Norman Bambi is playing every
tools with both the most obvious and sophisticated
musical attitude, driving a whole fake orchestra,
carefully tuning his synths, mashing with various
folk guitars and acoustic drums, switching sound
effects in the best justified childish way.
