Here is an electronica group composed of
M. Teho Teardo of
Matera and
J.F. Coleman who is a member of
Phylr and formerly of
Cop Shoot Cop. The group has a sound which is not unlike that of
Massive Attack but also has
jazz,
drum and bass and
trip hop flavors and features vocals prominantly on top of traditional electronic composition.
Their first and currently only release is entitled
Brooklyn Bank and it is a very original, genre-mixing effort which is something of a surprise in the otherwise highly produced but creativly poor electronic music scene. The album also features
Lydia Lunch,
Scott McCloud (
Girls vs Boys),
Rock Savage (
Barkmarket), and several others. While Brooklyn Bank may be original, its experimentation can at times leave a casual listener alienated, because it moves so far away from convention. The album was released by
Invisible Records in
1999 and is available from
Emusic in
MP3 format.
