Title: Plastic Makes It Possible
Format: CD
Label: Rave Police Records
Rated: *****
In balance between synthpop and techno pop, Techno Squirrels (the duo formed by Lisa Eriksson and Ryan Harlin) are presenting their first full length titled PLASTIC MAKES IT POSSIBLE. Containing eleven new tunes plus two remixes (none of these tracks are coming from their previous two E.P.s) the album gives us an opportunity to check the Techno Squirrels music in full. As for their previous releases what pop up immediately to a first listening is their ability to mix pop and dance attitude (on one of my previous reviews I named Madonna's "Ray of light" and I must say that I have to confirm that impression and I'd add also another Madonna's tune: "Beautiful stranger") giving to the tracks a remix feeling which is a double edged weapon because it could be a good chance to show one's producing ability but it could also ruin the spontaneity of the pop tune. On tracks like "What you want" the duo play with the ambient dance atmospheres a la Bjork (and Lisa's vocal ability is good at this like at other styles) touching the other edge without being cut. The album span through electronic ballads like "Love comes first", "Everything" or "Lightbulb" to electro dance tune like "Hurt me" or "South Colorado". If you love dance atmospheres but you also are into mainstream pop the Techno Squirrels could be a good alternative.
