"Like a ray of much needed springtime sunshine, Sweetooth, aka Paul Withey & Sarah Lazenby, drop a seriously delicious EP on SupaEarth Records. 'Wild Blood and Weird Powers' consists of four tracks of 80s infused original material with all the perfect ingredients of electronic synth work, drum machines and live musicianship that we have come to expect from this very talented duo, featuring Paul's vocals, vocoder and slick production work on this release.
Kicking off with the energetic 'Feel A Little Love', the weighty drum programming and heavy vocal stack immediately have you rockin'. Catchy vocal and bell synth hooks, and awesome lead guitar from Withey show a touch of class here, some might say reminiscent of Heaven 17, dropped with lashings of 2020 futurism.
'You Make Feel Like Dancin' features a killer live bassline, with strong Ultravox style synth string lines and haunting vocals that have the tonal quality of a young Bernard Sumner, making this track really infectious, with Paul's classic vocoder lines only adding to the richness in this signature sound. In consistency with Sweetooth's accomplished songwriting style, when it hits the bridge, we're met with an uplifting chord progression change, this time involving some tasty steel drum synth magic, before the intensity builds when the mega lead guitar solo fires in, giving firm affirmation of Rockstar status to go along with the electronic wizardry on display here.
'On My Mind' hits the spot instantly with a moogalicious bassline that would get Snoop out of his seat to party. Excellent synth sequencing, drum machine programming, funky pick and rhythm guitar work, and a clever repeating vocal hook, all add to the magic of this number.
'Wild Blood' has a killer groove à la Däm Funk, and dives in with driving West-Coast synth bass, Fairlight style stabs and Juno strings, perfectly complimented by Paul's handy vocoder work, soft pianos and dreamy synths. This one will have many a dancefloor swaying from side to side."
Pure quality from the London based NuDisco outfit! Hope ya dig?
