Italo-Disco is at least since last summer in the Kitchen and experienced for several months with the tribute nights and references a revival. Glass Candy from Portland, Oregon, which has soared in recent years to the (not quite) hidden music capital of the United States to move with their last two albums, "B / E / A / T / B / O / X and "Deep Gems" on similar paths fall, but beyond that due to various influences of African-American electronic dance music and can be responsible of eccentrics such as the Italian Goblin (including the soundtrack to Dario Argento's horror classics Profondo Rosso and Suspiria ) inspired. In an interview for SignOnSanDiego the changes according to various musical culture located now on the duo Ido No. / Johnny Jewel shrunk this eclectic band corresponding manner "between Olivia Newton-John, Suicide and Schooly D".
remembered earlier songs like "Candy Castle" still more like stubborn stragglers the New York electroclash scene like Swiss Dot and The Somnambulants, Glass Candy are now fully in those urban melancholy, which also featured disco, electro, Chicago house and early Detroit techno. You feel the atmosphere of New York disco ultrahedonistische temples like the Paradise Garage and The Loft back. Songs like "Miss Broadway" and "Beatific" would fit well certainly wonderful in a DJ set by Larry Levan and David Mancuso. In addition, sound and electro-pioneers such as Planet Patrol, Newcleus and Model 500 ("Etheric Device") with, while "Animal Imagination" knotless Chicago House provides pianos and one with an ambient-electro version "Computer Love" evokes the futuristic grief, the power plant at that time probably had in mind.
Also from Portland, and both musically and personally closely associated with Glass Candy (Johnny Jewel is responsible for production and their last album was released on his label Italians Do It Better ) are The Chromatics . "Night Drive" offers a similar combination of electro bass lines, house pianos, guitars and rhythm reduced the bewitching vocals of Rachel Radelet, but with a slightly bigger pop appeal. The Chromatics have their roots, yet easily heard on songs like "Healer" enriched in electronic indie pop and now account inter alia of songs by Kate Bush ("Running Up That Hill") and Bruce Springsteen ("I'm on Fire") finest electropop beads. Highlights of her own compositions are particularly "I Want Your Love" and the terrific hypnotic "In the City", which could have originated with his glamorous elegance from films like Union City or Times Square . Although this use of (mutant) disco, no wave and electro is not particularly new - as different bands like The Rapture, Hercules & Love Affair, or WIT drew the decade running from similar sources - create, The Chromatics so its very own charm, which differs markedly from contemporary indie bands and the Italo-disco revival will last.
