3eme Sexe (troisième sexe) brings a new sound to electro pop, and
this is pure analog!
By using minimal recording techniques and only
the real hand-played vintage stuff, (analog keyboards, synths, effects),
rock 'n' roll guitars, and stewardess-like vocals, 3eme Sexe creates
an anarchistic universe influenced by sixties beat, sweet seventies
pop, Yé-Yé style, and French Chanson.
The creative mind behind 3eme Sexe is musician, composer, producer
Justin Schoening. 3eme Sexe has been around the electronic scene
since 2006, and Justin has had several people joining him before
ending up with the hot constellation of today: Christelle Paris
(vocals/recitation) & Lola Renault (additional guitars). Christelle
and Justin sing in English, French and German – depending
on which language fits a particular track.
The extraordinary video clips of 3eme Sexe are directed by Christina
Palmegaard of Lars von Trier’s film production company Zentropa.
This new album has been mixed and mastered by 3eme Sexe and Mr. Thomas Bon De Gaard (of Pornorama fame!) in his Funkwerk studio in Copenhagen.
BEISPIELE / SAMPLES
babysue/LMNOP [Aug./10]: "...music with a strangely hypnotic retrospective sound and feel... rhythmic and ultimately danceable...but the melodies do not follow the traditional patterns heard in modern pop. Instead, these compositions come off like peculiar stream-of-consciousness pieces in which plenty of improvisation occurs.Unusual and ultimately effective... 5/5 TOP PICK"
