Description

Mono - Formica Blues (Limited Edition 2CD set)

It was pretty inevitable that Portishead would have successors, and when producer Martin Virgo (who'd worked in the same Bristol scene) hooked up with vocalist Siobhan de Maré, they followed in the same slow-dark-groove-plus-diva path.
But there's a sense of creative opposition that fuels Formica Blues: they love the harmonically complex pop of the 1960s (Bacharach is a particular favorite, and the single "Life in Mono" has a melody that owes something to Serge Gainsbourg), but they're also fascinated by the double-time beats and simple cadences of drum & bass. The group are careful to balance their kitsch inclinations with actual songcraft, and at its best--on tracks like "Life In Mono" and "Slimcea Girl"--the result makes for an agreeably fizzy pop concoction. True to their ethos, the arrangements here tend to favour the archaic and hand-made--harpischord-like keyboards and celestes, organs, vibraphones--and while there are occasional concessions to modernity, the instruments mostly sound as if they're emerging from the far side of a dream: heavy on tremelo and reverb, perfectly implementing De Mare's breathy vocals. Addictive stuff. "Atmospheric soundtracks for films that haven't been made yet".
