Bonnie Li
is an electro pop duo, bristling with edgy musical inventiveness. Need proof? Look no further than their multilingual title
Décroche
(French for "pick up the phone"). It's opening stanzas warble sublimely between distorted guitar riffs, synth moog effects, percussive flourishes, and a vocal that waxes between old school chanson française and a page from NIN's playbook on moody electro rock.
The result swoons. It moans. It even has screams punctuated by the final bell of the duo's clever new offering. What should you make of it? Well, it's all kind of crazy sexy cool. So it's a fabulous new addition for your playlists.
This midtempo affair is groomed for late night mayhem. Take it to the dancefloor or the bedroom. You'll figure it out. Before you do, have a listen of Bonnoe Li's Décroche here.
