«The avant garde still exists, but luckily it is not the old avant garde. A lot of new composers/musicians developed the genre of experimental electronic music very carefully. »

«Although I am a bit of a retro guy, I don't think that electronic-based music had its days of glory back then, I think the days of that is now! »

Artist: HAPPINESS PROJECT claire {dot} tuyeras {at} caramail {dot} com ]
Title: Remove Or Disable
Format: CD
Label: Happy Records
Distributor: Clogsontronics
Rated:
Born in Limoges / France, Happiness Project is an electro pop band formed by two brothers (Fred and Cyrille Tuyeras) plus Christelle Fournioux on vocals. During their first period the line-up had also Patrice Fournioux and Williams Cavelier but after the release of their first two albums, "Electric games" (2006) and "Happy live bomb" (2007) they leaved. The original trio didn't lose time and started soon after to work on new tracks aided by Jean-Louis Sollier (keyboards on six songs), Ania Pikula (backing vocals on "My London"), Pierre Lafaye (guitar on six songs), Srah Lafaye (vocals on "Departure") and Claire Tuyeras (backing vocals on "Freeness"). REMOVE OR DISABLE prove that the efforts of all the people involved have been headed into the right direction, because the twelve songs of the album sound simple (as a good pop song should sound) but without forgetting to have great melodic lines and interesting electronic sounds (as good electronic songs should be). The sound is well balanced: it isn't too minimal or, otherwise, overproduced. Songs like the opening "My London" or "Internet connection" have all the elements to turn into instant hit singles: good male/female duets and melodies that sticks into your head in no time. Even if the band is called Happiness Project the album doesn't sound like a "stupid" synthpop album where everything could be summed into a three note humming. If you love bands like Telex (but they don't sound too retro) you should check this one. You can find three tracks on www.myspace.com/happinessproject. Now they are distributed by Clogsontronics (that will release their next album), so if you have problems into finding their CD check with them.
