CD-DETAILS LIGHT BULBS [FUJIYA & MIYAGI] | ||||||
Fujiya & MiyagiLight Bulbs [Electronic / Dance]RELEASE: 19.09.2008LABEL: GrönlandVERTRIEB: Cargo Records GmbHWEBSITE: www.fujiya-miyagi.co.ukNach ihrem Erfolgsalbum `Transparent Things´ aus dem letzen Jahr, legen die vier Herren aus Brighton nun ihr neues Album vor. Nach wie vor angetrieben von einer Fusion zwischen Elektro, Kraut Rock und irgendwie dem was man als Disco Punk bezeichnet. Imagine that FUJIYA & MIYAGI are mask-wearing technicians dissecting music, keen to magnify particles of sound to create a pulsing antidote to the ordinary. They speak in tongues, using language as a rhythm, picking words that sound good, rhyming 'jigsaws' with 'carnivores'. Their songs are incisive snapshots of real lives that make household appliances sound threatening. They are steeped in vintage music from evocative krautrock to deep soul, with wafts of early Human League synth, Pink Floydian Englishness and the throbbing groove of Tom Tom Club, all filtered for modern times. In total, FUJIYA & MIYAGI don't really sound like anything. Instead, they sound like everything condensed into perfectly arranged three minute chunks of infectious pop music, a strange hybrid of James Brown on Valium and WIRE gone pop. Or maybe Serge Gainsbourg with a PhD in electronics backed by David Byrne's Eno-produced scratchy guitar mixed by MF DOOM. It's Darwinism gone mad. Their most recent 12-inch, "Uh", further concentrated their sound. A set of vocal ticks, a funky bass and a storyline about a relationship as prickly as two porcupines, it made small talk sound sinister over an infectious groove. It was the perfect set up for their first album proper, "Light Bulbs" - imagine 11 classic ideas clicking on above your head, now with real drums in places, courtesy of Lee Adams, and the picture is complete. FUJIYA & MIYAGI's "Light Bulbs" carves a niche of its own. This is truly contagious music, a completely unique take on modern pop music that's completely their own. Tracklist: 01.
