Jezebell / Cream Tease

Jezebell have lined-up four big bangers, that were created for a recent festival performance. Doing the do down in Devon, with their now trademark synthesised S&M sleaze, hence the E.P.’s punning cake shop / porn shop title. Hung has wicked rhythm guitar lick sharp snare snaps and beats that land like bruising punches. The resulting rubber band funk gradually introduces arpeggiated sequences, and vocal exclamations and chants help establish a fidgeting groove. The mischievous duo then break it down and build it back up again. The Big Time takes liberties with Visage’s Pleasure Boys, whipping Steve Strange and Rusty Egan’s rattling, racing hip hop favourite into new hyper-kinetic electro shapes. Spiking it with a little acid. Seamlessly hybridising the Mickey Finn-ed mofo with stadium synth and guitar riffing lifted from another cloaked classic to end up with something highly explosive. Darren’s Theme indulges in a bit of old school jack. Echoing the Vendetta Records vibe of the sexy set’s artwork. Getting busy with the X-rated samples and giving it to us like Bam Bam and a “Boastin’” Maurice Joshua. Peppering proceedings with barrio promises of fellatio. Donkey manhandles some much-loved cute, camp Euro-disco – French but with Spanish literary aspirations – in a very live sounding re-edit. Chopping up the air guitar-inducing shredding.

Jezebell’s Cream Tease can be ordered directly from Bandcamp.
