Salon Boris

[Ally]

Some of you may remember me continually bleating about Salon Boris (http://www.salonboris.com/) a while back. They released their second single Bride Of Boris (http://www.simbioticstore.com/udiscs/?s=home&m=&c=viewitem&item_id=7960) during the period the forum was out (Two Months Off?) to some very good reviews. My little love - electroclash :) Sultry Russian tones over sexy little electro sounds. It's actually a double A side I believe - Everybody's Talkin' About Retro is a good counterpoint to Bride Of Boris; the band's male member strides forward to the front of the stage and starts chanting at you through a megaphone... Radio 1 listeners will have heard Bride Of Boris as it was getting quite extensive airplay. Links to the reviews can be found on the forum, I can't seem to access the forum section of the site from work though. Audio snips on their site too - they're a fantastic live band.

Salon Boris ‘Bride of Boris’ (Udiscs). If we didn’t know better we’d say this was the secret love child of John Foxx’s ‘Underpass’ and FR David’s 80’s global poptastic smash - hit ‘Words’. ‘Bride of Boris’ is the second release by boy / girl / boy trio Salon Boris following their well-received debut of last year entitled ‘Freakshow’. Undeniably possessing an early 80’s minimalist new romantic / factor 7 / Berlin club scene makeover, Tatyana’s vocals set to a lonely hearts theme give off the seductive allure of an Eastern European Grace Jones while below the chic multilingual pop vibe anaesthetising your psyche could be the coolest thing since Visage’s ‘Fade to Grey’ though on this occasion tapped up by the fuzzy acid enhanced theme tune from 70’s TV Rhubarb and Custard. Infectious stuff that’ll no doubt shag your hi-fi to the point of breakdown. Flipside features ‘Everybody’s talking about retro’ which is like er….retro (for want of a better word). Wig flipping psychedelic tinged space groove that’ll flatten the club fraternity once in earshot, so dirty you’ll never come out of the shower, with it’s futuro Android Kraftwerk robotised funk grind and infectiously gritty rock undercurrent – this motorik monster will drive you to distraction. www.salonboris.com (http://www.salonboris.com)
