Globes on Remote
The Woo Hoo Hoo
The members of LA-based Globes on Remote portray a cast of characters on their self-released debut, The Woo Hoo Hoo, including a professor, porn writer and astronaut. For the one-year-old band, the eclectic outpouring of subject matter works well with their dance-pop sound, which is a cross between Michael Jackson and Friendly Fires. From taking turns on vocals to rotating instruments—guitars, synthesizers, drums, samples, horns, bass, trumpet, euphonium, and megaphone—they carry it off splendidly. “D.T. Lipps and The Paperback Porn Writer” sets off with a pulsing beat and layers synths, gnarly guitars, and crashing symbols with a shimmering chorus. Tawny Carson, representing the ladies as the group’s sole female, sings with wistfulness like a toned-down version of Vivian Girls on “Zanek!” Wrapping up the album with an unexpected use of whistling, “Nation-Building” leaves the listener yearning for more. One might dare to venture that this quartet, who literally built their own studio, recorded, mixed, produced and released the album on their own, is a bunch of overachievers. Already at work on a follow-up LP for 2010, Globes on Remote dazzles with its dancefloor-ready debut
