Insound Staff Pick - 2008! New York City's Le Tigre's collaboration is a deliriously addictive, hybrid sound the band calls "feminist punk electronic music." It's a mix of drum-machine samples, synth hooks, buzzing guitar loops, gang vocals, and foolproof bass-lines. Le Tigre's roots go all the way back to a Bikini Kill show in Portland, Oregon: Johanna, in the audience, was impressed and intrigued, and approached Kathleen to give her a copy of her feminist art zine, Snarla. The two became fast frien   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Insound recommended. Le Tigre features Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, The Fakes, and Suture), filmmaker Sadie Benning (after this release, Sadie left and was replaced by JD Samson), and Johanna Fateman. The trio use samples, claves, farfisa, a live dj, guitar, voices, and beats to make their poignant-but-danceable music. Their sound touches on conceptual garage, digital anthemic, political sadness, and unfinished soundtracks...a darn good record.

RESTOCK. Yeah!!!! Buzzing guitars, chaotic gang vocals, low resolution samples, and programmed beats reference their punk history and point the way to a feminist future without genre loyalties. While still taking full advantage of the rough edges, Le Tigre's new songs are more structurally ambitious, if not slicker.

Le Tigre's second full-length release delivers the rollerskate jams, sampler-punk, and political dance trax you've come to expect from the trio, and it ups the ante for electro-conceptual, feminist pop music everywhere. This time around the Le Tigre sound seems influenced equally by basement recordings and top-forty electronic production, as sub-bass and breakbeats figure prominently in the loud, live-show oriented songwriting on the 12+ tracks of "Feminist Sweepstakes." Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman, and   [ read more ]
