SOULWAX
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
Single Review
MRIB
Release Date: 19 February 2001

The latest mysterious treasure to be lifted from Soulwax's Aladdin's cave of influences, offers thrashing guitars and smoky basslines, iced with Beck-style sampledelica. The melodious Belgian band break their trend of evenly marrying musical styles with this rock-heavy outing, which possesses more than a hint of blues, wherein the brothers Dewaele recite the very postmodern story of two lovers who are unable to bridge the communication gap.
Conversation intercom is a reminder of Soulwax's knack for finding a killer hook in the most unlikely places
