Magnifique

Cool synth based electro funk rock from a “Brooklyn based rocktronica duo”. See also Pepe Deluxe, Amon Tobin, Idiom Creek. With a smattering of Tipsy and ELO. All instrumental besides a sample or two. Lots of guitar, the dual style brings to mind ELO, slide guitar Calexico/Friends of Dean Martinez even. Strange really cool stuff. Most songs end with false endings, strange samples.
