Le Tigre is French for the tiger. But the band is American, ya know?Girl trio (feauturing Kathleen Hanna [responsible for Bikini kill andJulie Ruin]) hammering it up in immense go-go style. Delicious. Thisis all too new for me as I seldom take an interest in female vocals.”Misogynists! Genius!” as they quickly wail throughmy thoughts in ‘What’s Yr Take on Cassavetes’. Apparently, I’ve beenrather ignorant as to what keyboards have to offer. And what a mightyslick release this one. It’s pure pop tunes with hard hitting drummachines plus samplings and chanting oh so sweet. (‘Eu d’ BedroomDancing’). But beware. It’s not as pretty as it seems. As I resumejumping to ‘Let’s Run’ . Opening the windows, increasing the volumeway above auto and joining in the chorus of “woo ooh”. Followed by ‘MyMy Metrocard’. A very upbeat kinda track reminiscent of that 70’skids tv, Electric Co. Then it fades down all nice and mellow with ‘Lesand Ray’. Leaving me to sigh at the final seconds and hitting the’repeat cd’ button. Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?
