The sound of A Bath Full of Ecstasy has a breeziness to it that comes in large part from Zdar: “You have to put air in it!” he’d exclaim theatrically, says Doyle, “it needs more air!” His liberal use of a Grampian spring reverb unit for pleasant distortion made sure of that, along with the group’s choice of machines. Session legends such as Pino Palladino and Jesse Johnson (The Time, D’Angelo) coexist alongside the likes of DRAM and The-Dream on this intricate and ambitious ode to funk music, orchestrated by modern day masters of the genre.Ĭonsider the first single “Juice”, a hilarious paean to female power set to a buoyant California bop: it’s Chromeo at its biggest and baddest.

Early 2018 will mark the release of the Funklordz’ fifth studio LP: Head Over Heels. Funk a game plan, Montreal natives Dave 1 and P-Thugg had a ten-year battle strategy: from cult 80s fetishists on 2004’s She’s In Control to indie blog darlings on 2007’s Fancy Footwork, to international touring sensations on 2010’s Business Casual, to bona fide pop stars on 2014’s White Women.Īnd guess what? Pee (still looking a smooth criminal in a Coogi) and Dave (ever the Semitic/Gallic heartthrob in tight pants) are back. The mission, the package, the vision - it’s been a straight shot of pure intentionality from the jump. Indeed, Chromeo is really good at being, well, Chromeo. The rest of the population will catch up. World leaders, powerful CEOs, and other fat cats could learn a lesson or two from electrofunk duo Chromeo, namely: know thyself, know thy vibe, and stay thy course.
