HELOISE & THE SAVOIR FAIRE: TRASH, RATS AND MICROPHONES (Simian Records) **
Heloise & The Savoir Faire’s first offering of kitsch electro punk plays on New York cool.
The band is fronted by vintage fashion buyer Heloise Williams and Debbie Harry - who guested on the new album - is a fan.
And they were signed by Elijah Wood's record label.
Their retro sound – late-70s disco infused dance punk and 80s synth pop – is refreshed by funky bass beats and bongos.
But unfortunately the lyrics are rather Des'Ree – a simplistic mish-mash of rhyming words that the hooky beats compensate for.
Out now!
