Telepopmusik - Genetic World

Artist:    Telepopmusik

 

Description:
Telepopmusik: Antipop (vocals, synthesizer, sound effects, scratches); Stephan Haeri (guitar, keyboards, drums, programming); Fabrice Dumont (banjo, double bass).
Additional personnel includes: Angela McCluskey, Soda-Pop, Chilly Gonzales, Peaches (vocals); Christophe Minck (harp); Geoffrey Tamisier (trumpet); Pascal Charpentier (piano); Sebastien Buffet (brushes).
"Breathe" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Telepopmusik consists of three French multi-instrumentalists and programmers, Stephan Haeri, Christophe Hetier, and Fabrice Dumont, who create atmospheric, chill-out pop music incorporating odd sound-bites, random raps, and often featuring sultry female vocals, mostly by the Wild Colonials` Angela McCluskey. While similar to Air and Zero 7 on first listen, there`s more experimentalism, something a bit duskier about their music. Telepopmusik`s sound is almost as if a boozed-up 1950s jazz-standards combo was asked to collaborate with Kraftwerk and Serge Gainsbourg in the seediest of late-night bars.
The title track from GENETIC WORLD breaks down the phrase until it`s indecipherable and layers it over an `80s sci-fi movie theme. This follows the sleepy, sensual balladry of the hypnotic dance single "Breathe," McCluskey`s Holiday-channeling finest moment. Dirty Beatniks rapper Soda-Pop drops in throughout the record, his strongest point coming when he both produces and languidly raps on "Da Hoola." And, adding to her ever-growing list of guest appearances, indie icon Peaches and frequent collaborator Chilly Gonzales team up with a chilling bass on the infectious "Let`s Go Again."
