CD REVIEW: TEDDYBEARS, SOFT MACHINE
Sep 18, 2006 6:48 PM Markkus Rovito (Writer)
If you feel yourself missing the classic albums from a decade ago by the Chemical Brothers or Fatboy Slim, where the music covered a lot of stylistic ground, but every track was slamming, get this tour de force by Swedish band Teddybears. Soft Machine focuses on solid, catchy songs that put that ass in motion. Other than Iggy Pop's tepid turn on "Punkrocker," the vocals shine, including feel-good sing-along "Yours to Keep" (with Neneh Cherry) and the hands-in-the-air highlight "Are You Feeling It?" (with Elephant Man). Instrumentals bounce from tech house to energetic post-rock.
