French duo Curry & Coco (Thomas Pliem and Sylvain Przybylski) make some real raw, analog, ElectroPop. They began playing together in 2006 in their hometown of Lille in Northern France. Close friends from early childhood, they acquired their moniker, Curry and Coco, from a Thai au pair who looked after them both.
Bored by the processed perfection of most modern recordings, they found an echo of the authenticity they craved in the music that flourished briefly in 1978, years before they were born. They fell in love with Devo, The Human League, the first Joy Division album and the electro rhythms of Giorgio Moroder. C&C are not big fans of the recent efforts of fellow countrymen like Daft Punk and Justice. “We’re not keen on French stuff. Too many samples, too much fashionable posing.”
Their commitment to doing things differently is obvious to hear, and it is fiercely, ideologically old-school. C&C use no samples, sequencers or backing tapes. Pliem plays live drums, while Przybylski employs only vintage analogue synthesisers.
Top of the Pop is the second single taken from debut album We Are Beauty which will be released in April 2010.
