The White Pixel Ape (Smoking Isolate to Keep in Shape) by Shaka Ponk
The White Pixel Ape is the 4th album of french band Shaka Ponk, published on the 17th of March 2014.
Every bit as imaginative as the name suggests, <i>The White Pixel Ape (Smoking Isolate to Keep in Shape)</i> is a major step forward for cutting-edge Paris-based electro-rock outfit Shaka Ponk. The band have honed a genre-bending blend of punk, rock, electronic music and hip-hop on their fourth album, delivering bold musical fusions with wild attitude. From the moment “Lucky G1rl” opens the album with a blast of buzzing guitars and a huge chorus, <i>The White Pixel Ape</i> is a foot-to-the-floor rush. “Wanna Get Free” anchors swirling electronics and a falsetto melody with a relentless, thumping pulse, while “M0nkey on the Wall” couples a shuffling tom-tom groove with scuzzy guitars. By the time the album closes with the Queen-inspired operatic rock of “6xLove”, <i>The White Pixel Ape</i> will leave you breathless.
