Fist of God – MSTRKRFT

The Canadian duo of Jesse F Keeler (better known as the unimaginative, yet obvious, JFK) and Al-P, in the short span that they have been together, managed to carve out a niche for themselves as one of the most sought after remix artistes. Though they may not have received much applause for their debut album ‘The Looks’, they have refined their sound since then to incorporate metal influences on a dance punk base to create a sound which is going to make for some really groovy house beats to move the party. ‘Vuvuvu’ builds a space barrier all around itself and transports itself on an alien UFO to the outer recesses of consciousness, which is something that comes naturally after you have been treated to thick beats on ‘It Ain’t Love’ and ‘Bounce’ both of which features rappers like Lil Mo and NORE. The album is held together tight by these tracks, although it does feel a bit lacking when the sissy ‘Heartbreaker’ exposes you to the voice of John Legend (of course he is a great vocalist, but then his voice is meant to wobble knees; not jam knees as this album supposes to do). Pick it up if you want to pump up the tempo at any of your house parties. And did we forget to mention that the album artwork warrants attention too with the fingers of a fist made out of women’s asses and legs.
