A surprising album from the French Dance-Pop purveyors that goes beyond the sweet-and-tart cocktail of their 2007 debut, Pop-Up. If Pop-Up was a breakout set of bawdy pop, Safari Disco Club will reintroduce Yelle in a whole new way. The album goes where all sophomore efforts should: Deeper, with more sonic and emotional diversity, an increasingly definitive style, and the poise of a band maturing and hitting its stride. The confident album vacillates comfortably between extremes: hot and cold, happy and sad. It's a journey of an album, with as much beauty and depth as Pop-Up had spunk and fun.

I became an instant fan of Yelle after hearing the song "Tristesse/Joie" from her debut album Pop-Up at a house party a few years ago. There’s just something about her voice, the electro-pop production and the happy bounce most of her music has that draws you in and keeps you hooked. As a French speaker I also enjoy her lyrics - songs about life and death, relationships, drugs, but all sounding like one big happy party. So even if you don’t understand what she’s going on about, you can still bob your head to her infectious anthems.  – Ramo, Berkeley
