2007 TOUR
|
I picked up this CD purely based on the album packaging. Let me explain it to you: There are some die-cut holes on the sleeve that changes depending on how you insert the interior sheet and CD cover. If you click on the album art displayed here, the two eyes are the die-cut holes.
I had no idea who MSTRKRFT were, but I figure the cover art and sleeve was cool enough that I was willing to give them a chance.
I was a little relieved that this band was actually pretty good. If you like rave/dance stuff, you'll probably enjoy this.
There's a couple of strong tracks on this album: "Work on You", "She's Good for Business", and "The Looks". "The Looks" seems to be the most commercially accessible of all the tracks, so I'll include the song here. It does get a bit repetitive, but I figure if you're on the dancefloor, you probably won't care.
There was some things that I've already concluded before I got confirmation from wikipedia:
- They're probably two DJ's, similar to such acts as The Chemical Brothers or Daft Punk. [CHECK]
- Name is probably pronounced "Masterkraft" or "Mysterykraft". [Answer: Masterkraft]
- They're probably Canadian, this information is based on their record label Last Gang Records in Montreal. [CHECK]
Additional information: The duo consists of Jesse F. Keeler and Alex Puodziukas. They're actually quite famous, I usually gauge these things by tags on Vox (seriously people, you need to start using your tags!) or doing a random search on The Hype Machine.
They have a new LP record coming out next month (July), although I couldn't find any information on this. I know they have a remix album, which probably collect all the songs that they've remixed (from such bands as The Gossips, Bloc Party and Annie), but according to their record company, it won't be released until September 2007.
By the way, the company that designed The Looks packaging is Seripop.
