The Penelopes - Priceless Concrete Echoes (2009)

French indie electronic duo The Penelope(s) have created a distinctly pop sensibility that draws on indie rock from the early '90s with elements of synth-pop and early House. The results, though, will appeal to home listeners as well as the club kids. Priceless Concrete Echoes is their first domestic release. A mix of shoegazing, New York disco, punk and funk - the album is produced by Black Strobe's Arnaud Rebotini. Soaring through nostalgic hints of The Cars or New Order (Licked by Love) or Ride (The Heat Goes On), the album is dominated by the instincts of the European rave scene. The bass is slapped, the hi-hats are mixed up front, and The Penelope(s) are not afraid to shine a light on the disco ball. They also aren't afraid to cover the Beastie Boys - all with joyful abandon.
