So Fucking Chic


This is the debut album of french group Junesex, out through Hamburg's Popup Records; darkish, sex infected, home-made electro with post-punk sound and rock attitude. Their sound stands close to the Kitsune/Ed Banger and like stuff, yet without the typical (post Daft Punk) tricks all the others use to death; the Junesex final mixes sound more like a rock band with synths than the all-pumping, filter sweeping, samples overload of the 'electro-rock' blueprint.

To tell the truth, I feel this whole 'sex' thing is a show-off. I bought this one for 'Gets Close To Mine', which anyway I had to edit and extend to play it; still, a perfectly good reason to check this album. Fortunately, some time later a 12" came out, with a Schatrax remix as well. Lucky us.
There's also a 'hidden' beatless track at the end of CD track #14.
