Sneakster is thecollaboration between former Seefeel leader, Mark Clifford along withsinger Sophie Hinkley. "Pseudo-Nouveau" is the first full-length CDreleased from Sneakster and appeared last year throughGuthrie/Raymonde's Bella Union label. It's a combination of sharpbeats, jagged electronics, looped sound effects crossed with prettyvocals. While it's well-produced and has some excellent highlights, tome there seems like something missing from the mid-range. The high endis covered well with electronics and vocals and looping bass melodiesprovide a good low end, it's almost soul-less without a guitarist'stouch. This is where Robin Guthrie's hand has come in to help.
"Fifty-Fifty" is the remix EP recently released that marriesSneakster's bits to a guitarist who has 20 years of experience infilling space with sound galore. For three tracks, Guthrie hasreinterpreted sounds from the album Pseudo-Nouveau. This EP acts as agreat companion to the album but I'm eager for more tracks and feelit's a bit short.
