Peek & Poke

New smart, sassy electro-pop genius from our favorite Overnight-Pop-Star, Jyoti Mishra, iconoclastic pop-baubles from England's Indian-born answer to The Artist Formerly Known As… An all new full-length album chock full of winsome/wizard desktop electronica and jangly melodic strums, new-school technology balanced with some old-school classic guitar pop smarts. Jyoti's sweetheart vocals are set aloft by synthy melodies and happenin' retro beats, flavored with vivacious female backing vocals and front-and-center electric and acoustic guitars. A multi-colored swirl of groovy PRINCE-styled dreamonica dipped in a vat of fruity, MAGNETIC FIELDSy keys, and some (dare I say it) HUMAN LEAGUE styled male/female vocal interplay, all spun together in Jyoti's hard drive. Alluring retro-beats and sexually ambiguous lyrics provide poignant dance club romance, while guitars strum and hum honoring WHITE TOWN's jangle pop roots. Twelve tracks include WHITE TOWN's latest single "Another Lover", the PET SHOP BOYS-styled "Duplicate", the church organ dance-pop-gospel of "Every Second Counts", and the epic 13 minute KRAFTWERKian beatbox diatribe, "Excerpts From An Essay", featuring a slippery komputer voice expounding upon the cultural significance of early hiphop as interpreted by Jyoti's earnestly controversial Marxist ideologies… Yes, whatever, great tunes!
