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 Threadand
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.
