Kompleksi - Sister Longlegs Dances In The Disco

I mentioned the release by Kompleksi - '(I Ain't No) Lovechild / Moscow 1980' almost exactly one year ago to the day, and I was then very impressed with the 'Moscow 1980' track.

I'm pleased to see that Kompleksi have completed the new album 'Sister Longlegs Dances In The Disco' and its looking for a good publisher. It continues the strange and dark Kompleksi sound which is impossible to define.

The album has strong elements of electro with the drum sounds, synths kicking in for the track but pHinn's vocals make for the unique end product. Some tracks are jagged, with the vocals heavily over the synths which create the truly dark sound distinctive of Kompleksi.

My own favourites other than 'Moscow 1980' (which I LOVE) are 'Gothic Robots' (hear at myspace) which has the ability to stick into your head and stay there, with its bouncy electro beat which sounds like its always hiding something more sinister! 'Spiders In The Sky' (myspace link) has the same effect of sticking in your head for the day, a good solid feel to the track.

'Porno Tampere' has a darker sound with a haunting melody and desperately haunting vocals. Pick up 'Porno Tampere' on Bunker Records' 'Artists Anonymous' release. Available on Juno.

I think the album ends wonderfully with the 'The Only Star In My Sky' track which is a real journey ending with a warmth, its a perfect finish to the album.

A terrific overall feel to the album that will sound like no other album you have ever heard. Its hard and heavy at times and wonderfully dark -It has to be released!!
