MP3 Le Mans - Disco Related Injury
12 MP3 Songs
POP: New Wave, ELECTRONIC: Dance
Details:
LeMans Electro''s sophomore release, DISCO RELATED INJURY, steers the project (now consisting of solely of jam1sin and various guest bandmates) headfirst into more dangerous neonlit territory. Jam1sin''s vocals seer through the hole charred by sizzling synthesizers with a sense of command only hinted at on the previous release.
The LeMans joyride opens with "Online Lover". Featuring witty wordplay and the Devo-sque/Kraftwerkian technology references that made "Datacassette" and "Betamax Disco" favorites on LeMans'' previous album COLDLIFE IN THE FASTLANE. With its electroclash bassline, dirty vocoder, and geek chic vocal delivery, it showcases the style that attracted listeners to what Le Mans had been up until now. However, the introduction of over-the-top instrument distortion and German language female guest vocals introduce the listener to this year''s redesigned model.
By track 2, "Boom Box Chic", jam1sin shows us where he has been heading, further into the depths of gritty metropolitan culture, guided only by chunky electric basslines and spirited blips. Liz Enthusiasm of Freezepop guests on this one and compliments jam1sin''s darkly melodic vocals brilliantly. (Already an underground club favorite, the release includes two bonus remixes of this track.)
Other highlights include "After Werk" (co-produced by Barbeau of Dirty Sanchez), a cinematic romantoclash duet between jam1sin and Trae-Ann (of Electroboobies); and "Private Investigation", which sounds like the best 1983 era Ministry song that Wax Trax never released. "Industry Funktion" and "Thunderbolt Fire" offer insight into the world of celebrity (jam1sin is a working model and actor). "Thunderbolt Fire" also features new wave guitar expertly performed by La Ley/Pink tour guitarist Bibi McGill; demonstrating that LeMans can effectively function as a guitar laden synth machine. As Hong Kong Counterfeit''s Katya Casio proclaims: "Splendid!"
