Mr. Oizo-Positif
"Vous êtes des animaux." Qui, c'est vrai. But we often forget this, unless a relentless groove and a mélange of lacerated jean jacket gestures strips away the paint of civility and leaves us to our primary purpose... la danse. With the track Positif, from his release Lambs Anger (2008, Because Music/Ed Banger), French social scientist and Dada disco master Mr. Oizo delivers a truncated dissertation on severe danceographic dementia. Therein, hard driving house claps puréed with some schizo arcade synths and a skipping funk record spew forth from an AM radio blaring out of a blown up ice cream truck. Meanwhile, a monotonic jeune fille keeps chiming in about our bestial burden and writing. C'est la vie. Non?
