| 'Fake French,' El Guapo's second Dischord release, brings brash art-punk to the post-millennial dance floor. Largely self-recorded in numerous sessions over six months, the album elicits comparisons to groundbreakers Devo, Suicide, Kraftwerk, and Gang of Four as well as genre-busters Afrika Bambaatta, the Stooges, Tom Waits, and Run-DMC. From the dark electro anthem "Just Don't Know" to the B-boy-esque vocal exchange of "Glass House," the New York/Washington DC trio herein crystallizes its singular take on pop music. |
