Info:
There Are Few Artists Making Seriously Great Music While Not Taking Themselves Too Seriously: That Difficult Feat Is One Rarely Attempted And Even Less Often Successfully Carried Out. Benoit & Sergio Have Seemingly Effortlessly Managed To Pull Off That Contradictory Trick, Producing Songs That Sometimes Seem Like Musical Open Letters: Editorials Narrated In The Voices Of Unidentified, Yet Totally Recognizable Colorful Characters, Read Aloud Against A Backdrop Of Beautifully Lush, Warm And Sensuous Electronic Pop Music. The Unexpected Juxtaposition Of Such Pristine Production And Playful Lyricism — First Exhibited On 2009s Highly Praised <i>what Ive Lost</i> Ep, Which Included The Brilliantly Sardonic Single >full Grown Man< – Exemplifies Why Benoit & Sergio Are One Of The Most Unique And Interesting Outfits In Dance Music. Its Good News, Then, That The Washington, D.c./berlin-based Outfits Eagerly Expected Dfa Debut Maintains Both The Charm And Expert Craftsmanship Of Its Predecessors. Single >boy Trouble< (the Titular Counterpoint To >full Grown Man<) Launches The Ep With All Manner Of Reasons To Take To The Dancefloor: An Exigent Beat, A Beckoning Synthline, A Bassline Of Understated Funk. Sergio Lethargically Sings About Girls, Making Note Of Both Their Ups And The Downsides, Without The Hindrance Of Subtlety. >i Love Girls/with Legs Like A Ferrari< He States Before Noting (bemoaning?) The Fact That >you Need Poetry To Turn These Girls On.< Its A Song For The Best Part Of The Night, Full Of Compulsive Rhythms And A Climax That Builds On Sparkly Synths. The Accompanying Remix From Visionquest — The Detroit-bred, Berlin-based Label Led By Producers Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss And Shaun Reeves — Amps Things Up, Making The Beat A More Prominent, Driving And Club Banging Force. The Flipside Features >full Grown Man< And >what Ive Lost<, Which Reveal Themselves To Be Worth More Than A Few Revisits.
