Song of the Day - December 21, 2006

A pair of psychologists by day, disco/rock/electro-pop stars by night, the French duo of Jean-Phillipe Freu and Patrice Carrie have released their self-titled album Rinocerose, which near as I can tell is a collection of previous hits. An amalgamation of styles is evident in this release; there is a strong 70's and 80's influence ranging from Prince, Smashing Pumpkins, Soft Cell, and Chic that when mixed with the proper amount of alcohol will get the party on the dance floor. You may have been familiar with the track "Cubicle," which was featured on an iPod commercial, but there are other tracks which are worth a listen like the aggressive "Get Ready Now" or the 70's drenched funk of "Le Mobilier." Favorite track honors go to "Bitch" which has an AC/DC edge mixed in the appropriate ratio with a Prince-like funk for an delightful musical cocktail. Click here to listen
