| Having only ever thought 1982 was the future, and that the future was nowhere near 80s enough, Bleepin' J. Squawkins have created the ultimate time machine and brought the future to here and now. The machine is their first full -length album, floppydisco, available now through Creative Vibes (cat.no.CA035)
Initially, Bleepin J Squawkins thought it would be a great idea to release floppydisco on 5 1/4" vinyl, however their fascist record label Clan Analogue vetoed such madness. So here is their debut CD, full of catchy electro-pop, gratuitous big analogue synth sounds and every vocoder they could lay their hands on, creating electro-pop of the future for dancing today.
The album takes or, rather, gives what's fun from electro-pop. From lyrics about lost love to the unintelligible ramblings of a speech synthesizer lost in a crazy world of Lewis Carroll. Sweeping, swirling and luscious analogue sounds tickle your aural fancy while elevator-evacuating flatulent bass sounds put a rose in every cheek.
"Funky", "Homegrown", "Electro" and "Madness" are just four words used to describe Bleepin' J. Squawkins. A lurrrrve of analogue awibblery, gritty lofi basslines, chunky electro beats and a cheeky finger for digital manipulation of samples constitute the Bleepin' J. Squawkins sound. Since winning one of B(if)tek's WINK awards, Bleepin J. Squawkins have gone from disco to disco. Ask for them by name at your nearest nightclub promoter or A&R person.
Floppydisco (cat.no.CA035) is out now from Clan Analogue, distributed through Creative Vibes.
Floppydisco and the new Clan Analogue compilation Doppler Shift: electro selections (CA034) will be launched at Newtown RSL, Friday the 16th of July.
