Since forming a mere three years ago, Gallic rockers Prototypes have already landed a top ten single in France and enlivened both underground clubs and contemporary European art scenes with their punchy electronic rock. Founded by Stéphane Bodin and François Marché (members of the French critical-darling band, Bosco) Prototypes? music is ripe with sharp synth riffs, striking angular guitar, and the explosively compelling vocals of the unstoppable Isabel Le Doussal (aka "Bubble Star"). Prototypes is shit-kicking electropunk, merging the emblematic aesthetic elements of electronica with their obsession of folk music. Prototypes? music boasts agile song craft and a masterful knowledge of pop music and beat boxes. This self-titled US debut album on Minty Fresh presents a rapid-fire staccato of first-rate jams that inspire us to sing along as we get our groove on. With pounding beats, commanding vocals, and demanding synthetic pop grooves, Prototypes hands you a cigarette, buys you a shot, and pulls you by the hand to dance floor. Welcome to the party.
