Super-sharp electro-pop by the Ghent-based duo, packed with crisp, inventive sounds created in Soulwax’s Deewee studio and clever lyrics about race issues, political correctness and cultural identity. Stylistically there are echoes of Tune-Yards, Talking Heads (there’s even a fabulous song Making Sense Stop), and of course the influence of friends David and Stephen Dewaele of Soulwax with techno blips, beats and squeaks. Other standouts include Blenda, which examines assumptions on racial identity, HAHA, a staccato parody of unfunny in-joke humour, Ceci n'est pas un cliché, a disco stomp with an upright bass line, Hey, and Esperanto, which subtly undermines some of the more pointless aspects of woke culture and political correctness that shuts down dialogue. Bright, fresh, clean and cleverly inventive. Out on DEEWEE.
