| Cash And Carry Songs CD (2004)
$13.39
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. 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 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 naïve nostalgia of Octet's fellow countrymen Phoenix and Daft Punk. 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 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.
