Idealism

If Franz Ferdinand make rock music that girls could dance to, Digitalism make electronic music that everyone can rock out to. For the past two years, they have been the go-to men for indie remixes, having reworked Tom Vek, The Cure, The White Stripes, Klaxons, Cut Copy and The Futureheads, to devastating effect. Now it is their turn to deliver a full length that displays their rock and electronic influence, and mold it into one. Ismail "Isi" Tuefekci, the German born son of Turkish immigrants, met Jens Moelle, the child of a liberal Hamburg family, at the city's Underground Solution record store where Jens worked. They quickly became friends and partners DJing at nights around Germany. This quickly grew to shows around Europe and the US and so did their production discography which included "Zdarlight" and "Jupiter Room". Idealism is loose, heavily distorted, rough grooves and blankly delivered lyrics that have as much in common with The Stooges as it does with the Ministry of Sound.
