Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Few entertainment pleasures can match the free-wheeling escapades of an act that wouldn’t be caught dead taking itself seriously. Such is the aesthetic of audio "researchers" Dave One and Pee Thug, and Fancy Footwork marks the duo's graduation from über-hip pranksters to "Bonafide" party rockers with a decent shot at longevity. Tongues-in-cheek, Chromeo channels the synthesized pop anthems of the 1980s as a matter of course, but the resulting dulcet-toned timbres are nevertheless creatures of the dance club, circa now. Standouts like the title track, "Tenderoni," and "Outta Sight" could keep a masquerade ball at Paisley Park hopping, and the shifty "Opening Up (Ce Soir on Danse)" gives male vulnerability a rare dose of charismatic, hip-swishing swagger. Even when Chromeo openly regresses into grade-school buffoonery ("Momma's Boy," "Call Me Up"), little is lost; Fancy Footwork is tailor-made for the turntable, so occasional low-energy numbers and errant odes to teenage insecurity hardly mar the potential for festivity. In all, this album delivers on the promise suggested by 2004's She's in Control: the art of the nostalgic soirée, it seems, is alive and well in Chromeo's native Montreal. Seriously. --Jason Kirk
Product Description
The duo's second release is the most smoothed-out, hook-heavy, unabashed lovers' funk since...their last album, actually. That debut scanned 10,000 copies to date and spawned a legion of ferocious devotees in the indie, dance, and hip-hop worlds. Chromeo is slick, dripping with reverb, full of Moog riffs, luxurious harmonies, macho guitar solos, and real deal songcraft. "Fancy Footwork" rolls you through a sleek, melodic world and will be perhaps THE defining good time record of 2007. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
