Blue Steel Through Soft Things
Posted on November 2nd, 2009 posted by Patricia Furpurse in artish, dreamy, pop-synth, promo video
Bot’Ox is the french electronic pop of Julien Biffaz and Benjamin Boguet (AKA Cosmo Vitelli and one half of Tekel). Bot’Ox have accomplished world admiration with their acclaimed releases on DFA, DC recordings, Grand Central and I’m A Cliché.”Blue Steel” is a mellow French pop song filtered through quirky Pong video game sounds, digital delay, and hypnotic synth programming with the dreamy singing of Anna Jean floating gracefully above.Check out this strange, but clever video of a station wagon plowing through brightly colored playthings in slow mo. What a concept, but I can’t look away!

Disco is the best genre of music to exercise to in my opinion.

Glad you like it;) I haven’t yet seen Synth Brittania, but my friend Jared just gave me the whole documentary last night! I can’t wait to watch it. Ever since being in a band with Ian (Soft Metals) I am obsessed with synths. I’ve always been obsessed with synthesized music. This is just going to a whole new level now:)
