Review

Uncut (p.93) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]leek and highly finished, studiously retro electro-pop..."
Alternative Press (p.183) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "This sophomore full-length wears its newly found voluptuousness well; even the extra layer of cheesy fat in the vocal department and yacht-rock guitar squeals go down easy."
CMJ (p.41) - "[T]heir mirror-ball spinners are perfect late-night foot fodder."
Vibe (p.74) - "FOOTWORK's array of cheese-ball synths, vocoder distortions, and earnest lyrics shimmer with the nostalgic poppiness of Club Nouveau or Wham!..."

Title Note

On its second full-length Vice Records outing, FANCY FOOTWORK, Chromeo offers up another dose of 1980s-inspired synth-pop wackiness. The gleefully cheesy Montreal-based duo (P-Thugg and Dave 1) clearly worships at the mannequin-bedecked altar of Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," and gilds its groove-laden songs with plenty of Vocoder in an apparent bid to become the Daft Punk of the trucker-hat set. Highlights of the club-friendly album include the smooth-talking "Tenderoni," which is propelled by burbling keyboard lines, and the pulsing title track, a tune custom-crafted for the dance floor. One of the most immediately entertaining records of 2007, FOOTWORK will have listeners busting out their Members Only jackets and extra-large sunglasses in no time.

The Montreal-based electro-funk duo of Dave 1 and P. Thugg, better known as Chromeo, first made a splash in 2004 with their retro-flavored debut, SHE'S IN CONTROL. Drawing upon their shared love of `80s pop-R&B and synthetic talk box-driven funk, their follow up, FANCY FOOTWORK, delves even further into retro kitsch, playfully resurrecting the innocence and exuberance of that bygone time. Similar dance music pundits may have revisited Reagan-era synthesizers to get that elusive "vintage" sound, but Chromeo practically ooze synthetic funk from every groove. If the ironically delivered sleaze of "Tenderoni" lyrically places tongue firmly in cheek, the intricately performed lead synth lines still demand to be taken seriously. Revealing a level of musicianship that belies the lightheartedness of their lyrics, FANCY FOOTWORK manages to combine the spirit of past funk flights-of-fancy with a fresh and witty modern-day perspective.
