"Hellishly well-crafted, these electro-pop gems draw equally their influence from the classics of the past, as well as the sound of the 90's and 00's they grew up in. The results are striking, and quite frankly irresistible." - Les Inrockuptibles, August 2010
Dead Sea Lions is a four-piece electro/rock act from Paris, France.
Its members Alex, Paul, Mustapha, Adrien and Balthazar, all in their mid-twenties, started making music together in January '10 and immediately went into the recording of a 6 track EP.
The aforementioned tunes like "Children", "The Return", "Yellow Books" and their lastest leak "Fakes Dogs Parade" feature thick, layered production made of synth-heavy beats, overdriven samples, dirty rock guitars and anthemic choruses, complete with a hint of spiteful post-adolescent melancholy. If that didn't sound pompous enough, think of Trent Reznor and James Murphy throwing a party together with the Bomb Squad spinning records and Morrissey mumbling angry wits in a corner while The Prodigy and a translucent Freddie Mercur. watch and chaperon the deal with their trademark classy, tasteful discretion.
These songs quickly got accolades from the press, including Elle Magazine and Les Inrockuptibles, who wrote nice things and put the band on their summer playlist. Also, iconic French rock radio Oui FM endorsed their output by putting several tracks on their evening rotation. The band is now heading their noisy and abrasive live act to the stage, meanwhile putting the finishing touches to their debut EP which is to be released later this Spring.
"Fake Dogs Parade", "Yellow Books", "Children" and "The Return" are now downloadable online for free at http://soundcloud.com/dead-sea-lions
