Fenech-Soler
Fenech-Soler's self produced debut album takes the band'sradio-friendly nous to unexpected places. Battlefields begins the albumwith a blast, launching with a heavenly chorus of voices, beforeshooting into stratospheres of glistening synths and dirty brass. Liesrises slowly from the deep, a tale of lust and paranoia that becomes aglittery explosion of foot-stomping melancholy. Golden Sun plays withrhythms that summon up the sultriness of desert heat; The Great Unknowntakes a distant echo of French house in new, dizzying directions. AndStop And Stare is their club and festival anthem ready and waiting,full of twitchy, urgent riffs, and hands-to-the-air vitality.
