Not had one of these for a while...

Tune Of The Week, The
Modernaire - Scalpel

Just when you thought things couldn’t get much better, Modernaire return with ‘Scalpel’, a tune that takes things the band are renowned for - irresistible hooks, worryingly ‘noire’ lyrics - and combines them, brilliantly, with a monstrous slab of squelchy Gallic electro-house.

The result is a towering accomplishment, a fierce-sounding booty shaker that sounds like Vitalic finding the funk while experimenting with eyeliner and dark clothing. The cut ‘n’ paste lyrics are as brilliant as ever, and earn whoever penned them bonus points for not only coining the phrase “sweet like Calpol” but also managing to rhyme it successfully with the title.

5/5
