With their third album for CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (and the sixth
album in six years of existence) DAT POLITICS are more fun and exciting than
ever. With 'Wow Twist' they finally capture the pure raw euphoria of their
live sets and confront glitch, power pop, electronica and punk on their most
song-oriented, and freshest album to date.
As VICE magazine simply puts it "living proof that experimental
music doesn't have to have its head up its own arse."
The French laptop trio makes the album sound mature and pop, without
affecting their taste for the playful electronic odysseys and obviously,
the eleven titles of 'Wow Twist' possess a knack for perversely catchy hooks.
This time, Dat Politics' joyous digital wonderment is often accompanied
by the own vocals of CLAUDE and GAËTAN whose lyrics blend gorgeous rock
chorus and sci-fi themes put on furious casiotones and other spinning rhythms.
NME "One Day When Björk is elected intergalactic President,
all records will sound like this" ... THE WIRE "As children and
DAT politics know, coming over simultaneously brilliant and immature is immensely
gratifying"
