BPC 238EP
|
We Love ups the ante with their second BPC release. This is what pop gems sound like. The elegantly-arranged mix of sparkling minimal wave synths, subtle guitars reminiscent of New Order, and striking vocals are set in motion by a laid-back, yet assertively programmed drum computer. The flipside is completely dedicated to the dancefloor -- "Ice Lips" is put on its diet by Tale Of Us and "The Even If" remix from Troy Pierce is definitely a highlight.

BPC 223EP
|
Italian duo We Love spring a surprise with two of their more unusual sounding pieces on this first 12" for their smash debut full-length. Mannheim producer and DJ Johnny D turns "Underwater" into a surprisingly dark track which combines the melancholic atmosphere of the original with a solid, driving sound and hypnotic pulse. The flipside belongs to BPitch label boss and avowed We Love fan Ellen Allien herself. She comes up with a highly-personal club interpretation which only loosely references the original version of "Hide Me."

This is the debut full-length release from Italian duo We Love. With this debut, BPitch label-head Ellen Allien has sought out the golden needle in the haystack of current club music. It's almost impossible to resist the charm of the sweet Giorgia Angiuli, with her alluring brown eyes, and the wild locks of the contemplative, emotional Piero Fragola. The pair's debut album could become the chorus of the summer. Their enchanting songs fuse the ecstasy of clubland with the emotions of pop. Giorgia and Piero moved from the south of Italy to Florence and immersed their intimate love songs in a synthetic glamour. Simmering beneath the cool exterior of the synthesizer and guitars is the sex appeal of '70s glam heroes. Their gigs are legendary: in these pop performances, We Love create their own cosmos of music, film and fashion. Donning futuristic costumes and masks, they take us on a crusade of love -- the strongest feeling of all. Their songs grab hold of you from the first moment and are not so quick to let you go. The wonderful duet "Ice Lips" is about longing for the salty taste of your lover's skin; the pair's lust-filled voices are gently caressed by electronic sounds. On "Don't Cross," Giorgia's enchanting voice delivers a beautiful, ethereal melody while in distant reverie. "Cruise Control" combines a driving groove with a touching cello. On "Hide Me" the duo reveal their mischievous, flirtatious side, while on "No Train No Plane" we hear them in dreamland. The album's finale is "Escape," an epic pop song which is equally at home on a sweltering festival dancefloor or blaring from a builder's transistor radio. We Love struck the European pop scene like a bolt of lightning and are set to spread their love all over the world.
