CHROMEO - Fancy Footwork (Vice)

Montreal's Chromeo is a meeting of minds between P-Thugg and Dave 1, who pull off the nigh-on impossible in managing to make pseudo/ironic synth-pop bangers that actually amuse and please those dancing feet in equal measure. Title track 'Fancy Footwork' is a masterclass in getting tongue-in-cheek electro-disco right, whilst '100%' isn't the Sonic Youth cover you might have been hoping for, but a Hall & Oates-style slow jam. Over on the B-side, 'Bonafied Lovin' sounds exactly as the title suggests, whilst 'Momma's Boy' is an extremely daft poodle rock guitar wigout. The second 10' is dedicated to remixes of the title track, one by Philippe Zdar and another by Guns 'N' Bombs which positively wrings the nu-rave potential out of the original. in boomkat [Para Ouvir]
