Slowdeck deals a hand from the dark caverns of the offbeat with their cd release Multiple Offenses (Waveform records)...a decadent symposium of urban...jazzy...discordant breakbeats and shadowy downtempo head spaces. With grainy black and white overtones of the film noir movement, the music of Lacelles...dubbed by those who must use labels as trip hop...mingles quite nicely with the breathy vocals and hypnotic lyrics of Vanessa Darby to create a clubby, urban soundtrack for the sensual and seductive. Lacelle's territory is electronic discordia -- dropping breakbeats and overdubs like gritty, Bristol bluecollar ballpeens, while the dark, poetic angst of Vanessa Darby's whispery voice lays the groundwork for some heady late night tête-à-têtes. From the opening...Ladies and Gentlemen...What kind of shoes you wear - baby shoes? Slowdeck...adds to their record of Multiple Offenses like a freshly poured pint of stout UK brew, inlcuding what could well be the hit single of the summer...Butterfly - Darby's floaty anthem to free spirited wanderlust. There's also the mind bending Hitchcock flavored, Scared Me (so Busy), a soft and edgey cinematic masterpiece. -- eclecticgroove.tv Read more on Last.fm.
