How to survive to the French Touch 2.0 after being one of its biggest hits? The French (and masculine) duo Teenage Bad Girl, about to release its second album Backwash, could serve as case study to the young electro generation. In 2007 they released Cocotte, an album in which they blend the punk spirit from their musical debut in rock & roll bands with the broken rhythm of underground hip-hop and the efficiency of a half French Touch half Detroit old school techno. The result ? The press goes crazy, the audience follows suit by flooding the dancefloors, their unabashed beats and devastating tracks are playlisted by Chloe, Justice, Erol Alkan, Digitalism, Mylo, John Lord Fonda, Boys Noize, Yuksek, Dj Hell, Arthur Baker, Ewan Pearson. After two EPs, Tonton Funk released in June 2010 and Keep Up With You released in February 2011, Teenage Bad Girl are back with their second LP Backwash. This album is carried by Greg's vocoded voice and guest appearances by Rye Rye, Todd Fink (lead singer of The Faint) and Illa J (brother of J Dilla). You’ll find the same effectiveness from their early days and their taste for all kinds of tweaking (sometimes reminiscent of Aphex Twin) but more accessible. The duo have opted for openness and simplicity. The new Teenage Bad Girl album is full of energy and obvious hits such as Keep Up With You (Stardust from the 80's), the rock-orientated Black Hole, the electro-break of Fight Night or the dance-house Tonton Funk. But there are also the synthetic and melancholic eponymous slow Backwash, a minimal discoid ballad like Heart Zero Beating (Tangerine Dream 2.0) or even the hedonistic and poppy hip-hop tune X-Girl, the band’s next single. Backwash, or how to grow up without saying goodbye to your first love.
