| Description: | NEON & HIGH FOOD + FOUFOUNES ELECTRIQUES présentent - VOYEUR - FRIDAYS AT FOUFS MANY FORMS OF TECHNO __________________ DAN BLACK [ myspace.com ] “The best music makes the colours start firing in your brain,” says Dan Black. “That’s what I always aimed for when I was writing these songs.” As the kaleidoscopic future-pop of Un proves, he repeatedly hit his target. Seldom has an album twisted so thrillingly through so many styles, nor over-flowed with so much melody and feeling. Little wonder that Black is being tipped by the world’s critics and bloggers as one of 2009’s Most Likely To. Nor that Radio 1 have quickly playlisted his first proper single, the driving celebration of desire and loneliness that is Alone. Un is a pop record inspired as much by Black’s love for the “transcendent, emotional wonder” of acts like Nick Drake and Sigur Ros as it is fuelled by his passion for the hip hop production of J Dilla, Flying Lotus and the Timbaland. Its songs flit seamlessly from throbbing electro to heart-tearing strings, and from plaintive acoustic guitar strums to shuddering hip hop beats. Black is the man whose yearning voice you’ll hear singing Un’s literate tales of “intense states of being, be they extraordinarily happy or extraordinarily hard”. But he’s also the abundantly talented chap who wrote, played, programmed and produced every last note of it. He even handles all of his own artwork and videos (they’re very good too). If his name already rings a bell, that’s perhaps because you heard everyone from Zane Lowe to Perez Hilton raving about HYPNTZ, the Notorious BIG cover which first brought Black to the world’s attention as an unsigned act, early in 2008. Then again, it could be because you remember him as frontman of The Servant, an English rock band who made it big in continental Europe in the early part of this century. + JORDAN DARE [ myspace.com ] __________________ 18+ 5$ |
