 Wild Animals The greatest praise is how simple they manage to keep things, with retro synthesizers, vocal harmonies, crisp guitars and disco-bass grooves providing a retro vibe that still sounds futuristic and progressive. They bring some serious funk on "Working Bees," drop a reggae-flavored delight with "The Whistling Song," rave it up with the staccato rhythms of "Fugaz," and shuffle through the joyful pop of "Hold On" and "Biorganised."
They also function on a multilingual level with a vocal mix of English, French (the sweet "On Se Promenait"), Spanish (a bossa-heavy "Electrotumbao") and German (the futuristic hip hop of "Wild Eleganz").
Raising the bar for electronica used to be the realm of bands like Depeche Mode and New Order — but now groups like The Pinker Tones are bringing a wild energy and ambitious focus to a new generation.
With a robotic vocal track and smooth dance-ready groove, "S.E.X.Y.R.O.B.O.T." contains way too much fun for one track and is a perfect snapshot of The Pinker Tones' style.
