After an edition of approximately 28
slash-up albums regurgitating the entire
20th century of music and beyond, The
Allophons present their first E.P. of
non-sampled material. All of the
trademark Allophons elements are present
- the gorgeous vocal swells, understated
trance-funk rhythms and twisted
melodies. The Allophons could pretty
much fart into a four-track, burn it to
a CD, slap their name on it, and we
would release it. Thankfully this is not
what The Allophons have done on this
brief-yet-spectacular BOW E.P. This
swooper is a beautiful, skillfully
sequenced pop nugget.
Starting with the dazzling voodoo opera
"Bow", the E.P. leads you through the
funky outer regions of sound. "Voc
Beans" is a disco run by breakdancing
midgets, "Who's the PapΣ" slaps DSP like
Mark King used to slap his bass. On the
B-Side laptop connoisseur Randomiz and
electro-acoustic chef C-Schulz serve
your ears with "In the end", a jazzy
oddball reminiscent of Thelonious Monk's
wacky rhythm arrangements as well as
Miles Davis' space pop excursions.
Randomiz's well tempered sequencing
meets Schulz's vocal extravaganzas in
"The T÷pfer Singers", a whimsical
diamond with dueling layers of
vibraphone and jew's harp (played by
swiss jew`s harp wizzard Anton Bruhin
himself) that slide effortlessly in and
out of the mix. The Record's pumping
finale is "Elf", also the pumping finale
of The Allophons' spectacular live sets.
BOW is a full-blown blessing for those
of you with turntables: it's pure pop
goodness you love, with less of the
annoying pops and clicks you don't.
