Guitare Brothers
Remix MoiAs the title suggests, this release is a set of remixes. Transistor 6, Bumpy, Waverunner and DJ Ordeal get their greasy mitts on tracks from the French duo's eponymous debut album. The results are pretty funky. Transistor 6's effort features a schoolhouse piano loop and effervescent percussion before winding down into a gorgeous pastoral section. Bumpy delivers a nifty little number that jumps from hazy synth drones to nostalgic pianos, to create the most atmospheric piece and the highlight. The general tone of the release is similar to a lo-fi Avalanches, so is definitely worth checking out. But the packaging also deserves a mention. This 7" comes with a mini Scrabble board and pieces spelling the name out Guitare Brothers. You are invited to make the best shot at the game with the letters you are given, and send the board back to Kitchen Records, where the person who scores the highest will win an exclusive CD. What a wicked idea! Who says inventiveness is dead?
