Keith
'Mona Lisa's Child Remixes'
(Lucky008T)
Released:15.07.06
Mona
Lisa’s Child from Lucky Number’s eclectic prodigies Keith is to be the second single
taken from their much acclaimed debut
album Red Thread and will be released on August 28th.
These upfront promo remixes are being
released weeks in advance and come courtesy
of the cream of the crop of Europe’s leftfield
dance cognoscenti.
‘Mona Lisa’s Child’ has managed to awaken the ultra selective
masters of French electro-divinity, remixers Alain Braxe (of Stardust fame)
and Fred Falke from their Spring
slumbers, bringing a touch of Manchester’s
bitter sweet disco lineage to the unmistakable
Keith sound with nods to Baker, Moroder,
and New Order along the way.
The
impressively pervading James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco has supported
Keith from the beginning and here further
helps the band develop their reputation
as a band for a new generation of indie
kids who like to take their reflections
out of the bedroom and on to the dance
floor.
The
ultra-hip drummer from Who
Made Who, TOMBOY,
delivers a sexy, dubbier disco take with
explosions of rhythm & percussion,
and JAKE BULLIT‘s unique electro twist shows
why his remix of Arctic Monkeys’ ‘Bigger
Boys…’ is soon to be released.
‘Mona Lisa’s Child’, finds Keith front man - Oli Bayston - at his most cathartic and ultimately
honest point. The lyrics tell a tale of
anger & desperation with an angst-crossed
lover musing over the breakdown of a relationship
where love tried but ultimately failed.
Vulnerable, pensive and impassioned, ‘you
were crying, you were shouting, screaming,
“like me, love me”; I think I tried’; you’ll
dance ‘til your stiletto heels snap off,
though your mascara may run along the
way.
