Label: Junesex International Airlines
Released: late March/early April
No-one could accuse Berlin-based outfit Junesex of being predictable. Who else, for instance, would include a super-cool deadpan electro cover of Survivor's 'Eye Of The Tiger' on their debut album? Hard to believe this hasn't gone to number one all over Europe already.
But this crew has plenty more to offer besides oddities like this. Their own sound, typified by understated lounge electro and boy/girl vocals, manages to boast much in the way of personality and individualism despite being delivered with a universally removed, too cool for school attitude. Add lyrical matter so heroically devoted to sex it'd make Serge Gainsbourg blush bashfully.
Best of all, perhaps, is the hyper funk of 'Boy With Your Tongue' - imagine Prince if someone slipped speed and Viagra into his cranberry juice before he to took the stage. True originals, get into Junesex before the Hoxton trendies get their vlaws into them. 5/5
