The Model is no stranger to Gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to The Model. As a supporter of Gigolo Records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous Gigolo adventure. But in the words of the late George Harrison, >All Things Must Pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
The Model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: Dark-Techno-Baroque. The sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. It also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. Set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the A-side >In The Night<. In many ways this could be seen as a return to form for Gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. To further consolidate the Techno aesthetic look no further then >Flex on the B-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by Daft Punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of DJs today.
The >Vampire Funk EP< is the first release from The Models forthcoming album on Gigolo. The concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of The Model. Exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. Like classic Transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. The result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. As pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. As the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as I type and you read. So we are already part way there. The rest will unfold in the coming months.
