Album Review
The label says that the debut album from Bitter:Sweet (a duo featuring Supreme Being of Leisure Kiran Shahani and singer Shana Halligan) will appeal to fans of Serge Gainsbourg, Portishead, and Everything But the Girl. Hold up. How does that work again? Well, as it turns out, the album won't necessary appeal to all of those people all at the same time — the Gainsbourg fans will get a kick out of the loungey, horn-heavy "Mating Game" (and is that a theremin heard warbling in the background?), while those who got excited when Everything But the Girl got all jungley and electro will love the juxtaposition of cool, breathy vocals and jumpy breakbeats on "Our Remains" and "Salty Air." For the Portishead contingent there's the spare and sulky funk of "Overdue" and the turntable-infused junglism of "Don't Forget to Breathe" (which also features really nice strings and a fun rhythmic changeup in the chorus). It all adds up to an album that captivates not by virtue of real originality, but by combining familiar elements in consistently enjoyable ways.
Customer Reviews
Color Me Impressed!!
I heard one song off this album (Dirty Laundry) while driving home..I had to sit on the car for five minutes until it finished. Amazing!! I IMMEDIATELY had to pick this up... The beats are too funky, the production is second to none, and there isn't a bad song on this album. They're all catchy. Don't get me started about the vocals. I would highly recommend this album...highly. This is the perfect date/house cleaning/"sitting-around-the-house-on-a-rainy-day" cd I've heard in a LONG time.
Brilliant.
This is one of the few albums that I have been addicted to every single song on said album. Dirty Laundry IS the song you listen to while running around your highschool/office/local movie theater holding your hands up like a gun and slinking around sides of buildings. Brilliant.
Very good album
I enjoyed this album, and that's about all I can say as I'm not the biggest music critic in the world. "The Mating Game" can be heard on the second episode of this season's (3rd season) Grey's Anatomy. It's the song Dr. Tores is dancing to in her underwear when the chief catches her. Just thought people might like to know that since this is the reason I have discovered Bitter:Sweet.
