HELOISE & THE SAVOIR FAIRE: TRASH, RATS AND MICROPHONES (SIMIAN RECORDS) **Friday July 18,2008 Emily Garnham
Heloise & The Savoir Faire’s first offering of kitsch electro punk plays on New York cool.
The band is fronted by vintage fashion buyer Heloise Williams and Debbie Harry - who guested on the new album - is a fan. And they were signed by Elijah Wood's record label. Their retro sound – late-70s disco infused dance punk and 80s synth pop – is refreshed by funky bass beats and bongos. But unfortunately the lyrics are rather Des'Ree – a simplistic mish-mash of rhyming words that the hooky beats compensate for. Out now! Click here to buy this item |
