Jan Jelinek avec The Exposures

La Nouvelle Pauvreté

BY Philip DowneyPublished Apr 1, 2003

Jan Jelinek has taken the popular clicks and cuts of the past few years and injected them with some well-needed soul on this enjoyable album. Tracks on this album range from house to experimental. Most are somewhat clicky, and jazz elements are often present. "Music To Interrogate By” is a great house number that combines all these elements, with a dub bass line and even samples of crowd applause following the "solos.” "If’s, And’s And But’s” is just as good, with a delicate bass line and subtle keys. Other tracks are more experimental, like "Facelift” and "Davos S.” The album owes a lot to Matthew Herbert’s Bodily Functions, but this one is more experimental and not as instantly catchy. Still, the same warmth and love of a good tune is there.
