On their debut album Cash and Carry Songs, Octet introduce their spin on playfully stylish electronic pop, which ends up being a nearly equal mix of catchy songs with electronic trimmings and more typical, but still engaging, post-IDM instrumentals. The album gets off to almost too good of a start with "Hey Bonus," which sounds like a lost chamber pop single run through a shredder and then wound up so tightly that it isn't just looped, it's coiled, like a serpent eating its own tail. The song's witty, strangely timeless feel has a distinctly French air (no, not that Air, although there are some similarities between that band and Octet) that makes it the most fully formed and distinctive song on Cash and Carry Songs. After this song, the rest of the album almost can't help but be a disappointment, but fortunately it's only a small one. The rest of Cash and Carry Songs' more pop-oriented tracks are quite good in their own right, especially the lovely "Blind Repetition," a beautifully broken ballad that features M83 vocalist Suzanne Thoma and a haunting clarinet melody that ties the song together. Thoma also appears on "Sneakers & Thong," a soul-tinged duet with Benjamin Diamond that recalls the naďve nostalgia of Octet's fellow countrymen Phoenix and Daft Punk. However, the band stumble slightly when they try to move deeper into soulful territory with the Prince homage "Feels Good to Give Up"; unfortunately, vocalists Taylor Savvy and Yasmine Mohammedi don't have quite enough charisma to pull off the track. Still, the tracks where Octet follow their pop instincts are stronger than their instrumental efforts, which ironically enough sound more derivative than their song-oriented work. Cuts like the bouncy, skronky "4/4 Waltz" and "Anti-Camp Policy" sound a little bit like a more delicate, less wide-ranging Mouse on Mars, while "Daddy Long Legs" is reminiscent of Plone's sweet naďvete. Many of the instrumentals feel overly long and underdeveloped and tend to spin their wheels, albeit charmingly so. However, the prickly, precise "Kino Cat Leng" and "Trackball of Fire," which is bouncy, glitchy, and melancholy at the same time, both have a distinctively Octet sound to them. Cash and Carry Songs is an interesting, promising debut, the kind of first album that makes you want to hear more from the band as soon as possible, to see whether or not they can live up to their potential. At any rate, it's worth a listen for most people intrigued by playful electronic pop. ~ Heather Phares

Octet is a French pop-tronica duo. But please, good people, don't hold it against them. And while comparisons to that certain other French duo (Air) are inevitable, and, in fact, at times appropriate, they will only serve to marginalize the eclectic and

JAY-DOUBLE-YOU!“Many artists profess to have the proverbial "Funk" but few actually have the chops, the experience and the spirit to dig their hearts and souls into true-blue funk music. Jay-Double-You! is one such person.” – Flagpole Magazine, September 8, 1999, Athens, GA.Jay-Double-You!, a.k.a., James Wright, was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He began his destined path to work in the music industry by hanging out with his older sister, Debbie, while she performed as a vocalist on gigs throughout Michigan. Debbie eventually met George Clinton and was asked to join Parliament-Funkadelic. Due to this association, Jay-Double-You! was able to watch, listen, and learn as members of Parliament-Funkadelic would come by their home; in addition, Jay-Double-You! had the privilege of sitting in on many studio recordings. Surrounded by the excitement and armed with his first set of drumsticks given to him from Tiki - Parliament-Funkadelic’s drummer, Jay-Double-You! learned how to play drums. As an adolescent, he made his professional debut as a session drummer at United Sound Systems. He worked for several years in recording studios with the likes of producer Don Davis and artists’ Bernie Worrell; Johnnie Taylor; and George Clinton and his Parliament Funkadelic road show favorites, Parlet and Brides of Funkenstein. Most notably, Jay-Double-You! was the original band leader and drummer of Parlet, and in fact, was responsible for bringing the musicians together to form the group.After his experience with Parlet, Jay-Double-You! decided to pursue a solo career, concentrating both on writing and performing. He established his own record label/publishing company, “Talking Music” (BMI) - under which all of his recordings to date have been produced, released, published and distributed. He has recorded and released two singles "Talking to Myself" and "You Know What She Said”, a short EP "Funk for the New Millennium (If You Don't Believe Who Will?)”, and a full-length CD “I’ll See You Soon”, all of which he wrote and produced. He has sold and continues to sell CDs worldwide on his own as well as through several independent ...
