In a world of division, BĘÃTFÓØT's second album is as an invitation to unite at a utopian celebration of life. Originally scheduled for release in October 2023 but postponed due to the ongoing Israel/Palestine war, the intrinsically-political Too Cute has taken on more prominence than the Tel Aviv duo of Udi Naor and Adi Bronicki could have imagined. While both Naor and vocalist Bronicki have been active in protests, charity work and community efforts over the past year -- explicitly against the current government in Israel -- such values of peace, acceptance, coexistence, inclusiveness and anti-hate from all sides are further instilled in the songs that form Too Cute. Too Cute is a refreshingly-ridiculous dark-rave rollercoaster which careers between hard-dance, big-beat, post-punk, techno, hyperpop, country and everything in between. Things blast off at breakneck speed with the chaotic title track's hyperpop snares, instantly-catchy lyrics (which feel ominously striking considering the war) and a stadium-ready chorus that erupts into rolling breakbeats, punishing EDM and even a nod to The Bloodhound Gang's "The Magic Touch." While their first record's experimental explosion captured the pure carnage and energy of the BĘÃTFÓØT universe in a conceptual fashion (though remaining polished in its own way), album two is primed to connect with a bigger audience thanks to its pop melodies, structures and songwriting. BĘÃTFÓØT -- who have found a home among the LGBTQIA+ community -- are fighting back against oppression. "We want everybody to come to the party and celebrate life together," says Naor, setting out his and Bronicki's mission -- "and our goal is to widen that party as wide as it can go." Featuring Princess Rani and Bugle Boy.
