Sexor
About This Album
Quebec DJ and artist extraordinaire Tiga introduces Sexor with "Welcome to Planet Sexor" before moving into the retro-dance sound of "(Far From) Home" that sounds like a cross between a funky version of the Cars, Queen, and T. Rex. The bass nestles into a deep groove early and from there the song shines, almost being impossible to screw up. Add in a nice, subtle piano and it is hard not to appreciate this tune. Tiga then moves to a slightly faster, dance-oriented format on "You Gonna Want Me." Here the tune resembles any retro-pop or electro-pop outfit like Controller.Controller or Franz Ferdinand without the guitar hooks but with plenty of hi-hat being used. Meanwhile "High School/Jamaican Boa" sounds eerily like early Depeche Mode with Tiga keeping the energy high and the beat infectious. Rather than relying on hard, punishing, and rapid-fire beats often associated with dance music, Tiga falls in line with acts like Fatboy Slim and especially Chemical Brothers with the rap-meets-electro rock of "Louder Than a Bomb," the Public Enemy classic. A few of these songs miss the mark, particularly the quasi-soulful and sultry "Pleasure from the Bass," which relies on a repetitive bassline.
