Poni Hoax

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Although French electronica has been inarguably cool since the rise of Air in the mid-'90s, Poni Hoax are likely the first band to fuse the sophistication of Gallic dance beats with solid rock & roll attitude (imagine if the Strokes really were as cool and debonair as they pretend to be) and a soupton of the lyrical perversity and overall suavity last seen in French pop when Serge Gainsbourg was at the height of his powers.

Poni Hoax delivered an impressive debut: catchy songs and entertaining arrangements wrapped in a group sound that is very hard to pigeonhole. Some media have mentioned the "mutant disco" trend, and there is some basis for that, but the music of these five young Frenchmen touches on more than one genre. It is resolutely French -- in the humor, melodies and self-sufficient attitude -- with Air, Arno, and Ludwig von 88 as reference points, but it also has the English Dandy aura of Roxy Music, {$   [ read more ]
