Amoeba Review

11/19/2012

Cohorts on the Not Not Fun label Amanda Brown, who has a number of releases as LA Vampires that spin spaced out, lo-fi art pop heavily influenced by classic house music, and Maria Minerva, a similarly minded Estonian artist whose experimental pop reached acidic heights on this year's Will Happiness Find Me?, team up for an album that sees the two blending their styles into an enticing disco-noir exercise. Songs like the spare "End of the World" pulse by on a driving house bassline while Brown and Minerva breathe and wail like banshees in the background. Though every track is marked by steady dance beats, the songs themselves don't slap you across the face but rather bubble and froth in a dark stew. The album closes on a euphoric note with "A Lover & A Friend," an unlikely bit of lightness from two purveyors of heady, gothic underground dance pop.
