Chromeo — Fancy Footwork

in
By Kevin Ritchie (CHARTattack) May 8, 2007 2:08 pm
There's a fine line between paying tribute to cheesy '80s synth-pop and, well, cheesy '80s synth pop. Chromeo straddle that line on Fancy Footwork, an album that harks to 1984 — before pop lost its innocence, when Janet Jackson was rocking purple pleather on the cover of Dream Street and Ready For The World were confusing the hell out of Prince...

The entire country got into the televised Juno Awards broadcast that aired on Sunday night, but the bulk of the Canadian music awards get handed out an evening earlier at the Juno Gala Dinner And Awards. The one big draw at this year's Saturday ceremony was the rare unicorn-amongst-the-plowhorses appearance of Neil Young at the gala....

Finally. After years of complaining that it's too expensive to fly all their artists out to places like St. John's or Saskatoon, or that there aren't enough limousines to rent in these towns, or that the available bars are too small to host proper after-parties, the Canadian music industry has finally gotten its wish and the 40th anniversary...

P-Thugg and Dave 1 play cops in Chromeo's clip for "Hot Mess." They take some time to go to the pool, but first have to head through a shower filled with women whipping them with towels. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on whether you think it's side-splittingly funny like Kate does), Dave 1's glasses get all fogged up. Also: synchronized...

Chromeo — Business Casual

If you ever wore a "disco sucks" shirt and burned disco records back in the late '70s or early '80s, man do I ever feel sorry for you. You're truly a person who doesn't know how to have fun. Disco long ago seems to have gone out of style, but bands like Chromeo are bringing it back, and that's a great thing. Nowadays many bands are indier-than-...

Why don't more people associate Chromeo's disco-funk with things like mysteriously floating eyeballs that have been ripped out of Dave-1's face?
