Check out this CD

So since I've been on my recent electronic kick, I'm gonna write a brief review-let of a cd:

Cexcells by Blaqk Audio

Blaqk Audio, the electronic side project of AFI's Davey Havok and Jade Puget comes across as about as different from AFI as you could expect. It's one half 80s techno, one half club-worthy dance music and one third new style electronic ballades. That's right folks, approximately 133.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333% of your daily allowance of booty-shakin beats.

Although the lyrics sometimes come across as a little simple and uninventive (mind you there is NOTHING wrong with that - Love Hurts by Incubus is a good example of such), the cd is really strong from start to finish. With catchy hooks and highly musical production, this is one you should definitely give a listen. Havok's voice is strong throughout, and the album on a whole is at the same time familiar and still different than anything you've heard. Let's hope this project doesn't go the same way as the Postal Service (FUCK YOU DEATH CAB - I want more goddam depressing up tempo stuff) and that we see another album in the near future.
