Poni Hoax: Nicolas Ker (vocals); Nicolas Villebrin (guitar); Arnaud Roulin (keyboards, bass guitar); Vincent Taeger (drums); Laurent Bardainne.
Personnel: Olga Kouklaki (vocals).
Recording information: Gormenghast Studios; Studios Juno; Studios Vogue.
On its debut full-length, this Paris quintet teams with disco remixer and label boss Joakim Bouaziz for a set of menacingly cool Euro-punk dance tracks that betray musical influences from Kraftwerk to early-1980s New Romantics like Ultravox. On "Budapest," guest singer Olga Kouklaki's icy vocals conjure early 21st-century decadence, while "She's On the Radio" is dance music for sophisticated urban hipsters, and "Drunks and Painters on Parade" is a dizzy bacchanal.
Poni Hoax delivered an impressive debut: catchy songs and entertaining arrangements wrapped in a group sound that is very hard to pigeonhole. Some media have mentioned the "mutant disco" trend, and there is some basis for that, but the music of these five young Frenchmen touches on more than one genre. It is resolutely French -- in the humor, melodies and self-sufficient attitude -- with Air, Arno, and Ludwig von 88 as reference points, but it also has the English Dandy aura of Roxy Music, David Bowie, or even Morrissey. The synth bass from early-'80s disco provides the album's backbone and its tie to the Tigersushi label's aesthetics. Besides that, arrangements stretch out everywhere. Some songs are irresistibly poppy, like the first single "She's on the Radio," "Carrie Ann," or "Cheerleader in My Dreams," but other tracks get raw, trashy and dirty, like the bold "Drunks and Painters on Parade" or the thumping "L.A. Murder Motel." Olga Kouklaki has a guest singer spot in "Budapest," particularly dancefloor-friendly, while Ami Sioux gets to sing the last song, "Le Fil du Temps," the only disappointing track, with its weak vocal delivery and quaint melody. That one aside, the quality level never falls down, as each track introduces a new atmosphere -- no duplicates, no filler material, only fun, intelligent, unique whatever-pop. Lead singer Nicolas Ker gets extra points for his mock-seductive ténébreux tone. ~ François Couture

Grab That Gun

Organ Grab That Gun CD  (2004) (Import) United Kingdom

Poni Hoax
CD $14.49  4.3 stars
Live Recording The Organ: Ashley Webber (bass guitar); Shelby Stocks (drums); Katie Sketch, Jenny Smyth, Debora Cohen.
Personnel: Katie Sketch (vocals); Debora Cohen (guitar); Jenny Smyth (organ); Shelby Stocks (drums).
Recording information: 604 Studios; Hearing Protection Required; The Factory; The Warehouse.
The Organ's 2002 debut EP Sinking Hearts was more captivating than most of that year's full-length releases: over the course of just 15 minutes, the band crafted chiaroscuro meditations on falling in and out of love that were just as light and jangly as they were dark and brooding. The EP was a promising beginning, and Grab That Gun, the Organ's first album, builds on that promise by ...

After hearing Noah's Ark, any concerns about CocoRosie becoming too tasteful or straightforward after the widespread critical acclaim for their debut album, La Maison de Mon Reve, can be put to rest. If anything, the album errs in the opposite direction: alternately rambling and hypnotic, it's much more somber and insular (despite the presence of such kindred spirits as Devendra Banhart and Antony of Antony & the Johnsons) than the duo's subversively angelic-sounding debut. La Maison de ...
