JAMES FIGURINE - Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake, Monika

As a member of The Postal Service and Dntel, you'd think that Jimmy Tamborello would have enough to keep him busy. Well, you'd be wrong. With rumours suggesting its inception was a reaction to Jimmy's perceived deficiencies of the minimal techno scene, new album 'Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake' sees Tamborello delving up to the elbows in 4/4 beats - with the resultant album a master class in uncluttered machine music. Harboring a significant debt to Kompakt and the likes of John Tejada (who appears on the LP), James Figurine makes electropop that doesn't deal in glittery clichés, preferring instead to ferment the digitalis in a rich compote of sweet melodies and sonic-somersaults that consistently avoid appearing superfluous. Opening with the annoyingly titled '55566688833', Figurine immediately mixes his breaks with his silicon; lurching long with considerable velocity, the chunky beats soon give way to a sparkling vista of bubbling synths and couched vocals - the result being not a million miles from that of the Junior Boys, yet different enough to retain artistic autonomy. Next up is the ruptured bass of 'Leftovers', wherein the electro comes to the fore as slack mouthed vocals get chatty in the background, before the John Tejada co-written 'Pretend It's A Race And I'm On Your Side' jerks into view like a steroid-fed Moonflowers. Elsewhere, 'You Again' drafts in Jenny Lewis for some soapy electronica, 'All The Way To China' allows Erlend Oye to sand off the spiky digitalis shards, whilst the closing track 'Stop' provides a suitably star-gazing finale.
