FENECH-SOLER Fenech-Soler (2010 UK 10-track CD album - Fenech-Soler are a 4 piece from Kings Cliffe and began in 2008 out of a love of dance and club music. They aimed to write songs that would be club and festival anthems with experimental edges and from there quickly picked up fans including Alan Braxe, Groove Armada and Annie Mac. Taking the band's radio-friendly nous to unexpected places, their self-produced debut, 'Battlefields' begins the album with a blast, launching with a heavenly chorus of voices, before shooting into stratospheres of glistening synths and dirty brass. 'Lies' rises slowly from the deep, a tale of lust and paranoia that becomes a glittery explosion of foot-stomping melancholy. 'Golden Sun' plays with rhythms that summon up the sultriness of desert heat; 'The Great Unknown' takes a distant echo of French house in new, dizzying directions. 'Stop And Stare' is their club and festival anthem ready and waiting, full of twitchy, urgent riffs, and hands-to-the-air vitality. It is the sound of a band at the starting gate, ready to fire their gun)
