MAKING FACES - CHICKEN LIPS
Japanese 2006 pressing in a digipak with earliest release adds 4 bonus tracks ‘Sweetcow’ (dub), ‘Twiggy’ (dub), ‘White Dwarf’ (freakslastdaysofdiscoredo) & ‘White Dwarf’ (wink vocal reinterpreation). After four years, countless hit remixes for the likes of Morcheeba, Tiga, The Kills and Playgroup, three huge preceding singles and a lot of blood, sweat and tears Chicken Lips return on LondonÆs Adrift Records for their third studio album æMaking FacesÆ. This album is the production duoÆs first foray into full vocal territory and sees the veteran producers explore their soul, dub, funk, electro and disco leanings in their own inimitable style. Teaming up with Spanish-based vocalist Jonny Spencer, Chicken Lips (real names Dean Meredith and Andy Meecham) have yet again created a masterpiece, but for the first time songs are key elements of each and every track. SpencerÆs ability to sound like a wonderful mixture of David Bowie, Prince and Curtis Mayfield is pure aural delight while his songs are both vivid, surreal and packed with emotion as well as hooks.
