Dorio - Agent Friday & the Perfect Angel [Colored Vinyl]

3.2.1.Go! The prompt begins and ends the latest Dorio production, starring Agent Friday & the Perfect Angel. Motion-blurred scenes coalesce in an imagined spy thriller soundtrack, cutting across club pop, neo-acoustic, and textured electronica. In eleven jet-setting tracks, the Texas duo reconfigures classic pop sensibilities and cocktail lounge idioms into a thoroughly modern work. The project's newest LP marks a confident development in Chad Doriocourt and Rachel Rascoe's co-songwriting and CD-age experimentation. Dorio's mission starts now. Fuzz guitars, monophonic synthesizers, and bouncy drum breaks fuel a tale of covert operations on Agent Friday & the Perfect Angel. The album's propulsive production cuts across a pristine millennium palette, from Madonna's 1998 Ray of Light all the way to Gorillaz's 2010 Plastic Beach. Rising to meet the energy of live audiences, Doriocourt's dance-oriented production amps up Rascoe's singsong melodies. It's music readymade for both recreational and listening formats. "An upbeat form of bubblegum-pop and hip-hop percussion that recalls the recent neo-psych output of Stones Throw Records." - Flood Magazine - "Recalling the nostalgic majesty of bands like Wishy, Tennis, and Hovvdy, the skittering hi-hat feels like rain drops hitting the metal roof of an old car, the production insular while somehow vivid and full of imagination.. Whatever the instrument, Dorio know how to make quite an impression." - Consequence - "Summery psych-pop that often infuses their dreamy melodies, kaleidoscopic hooks, and breezy vocals with nostalgic millennium-tinted breakbeats." - KEXP
