Airy melodies, playful sounds and beats, without fear of crossing the border into sweet catchiness, paired with coolness, energy and a small hint of dark pathos – if there is one band these days that manages to preserve the spirit of the Golden Eighties, it must be the electronic girlie-duo Marsheaux. Fortunately, Sophie and Marianthi do not revert to blindly copying well-tried success formulae from Pop-eras past, but rather use the same tools to cook up a delicate and delicious Electro Pop stew of their own. On their third album, the two girls prove yet again that they have got a formidable talent for writing irresistibly catchy melodies, this time around spiced up with a healthy dose of modern club sensibility. The darker note that haunts a few of the tracks, quite befitting of the album title, provides an interesting counterpoint, as well. On their new album, Marsheaux are as versatile as never before: Minimal Disco anthems like the singles “Summer”, “Ghosts” and “Breakthrough” go hand in hand with picture-prefect Pop tunes and excursions into more beat-oriented territories. “Lumineux Noir” is the perfect fusion of Pop and Club, an irresistible Minimal Disco trip… in short: an album to fall in love with! Preceding the official German album release in late summer, “Lumineux Noir” will be released in July as a digital download album (i-Tunes, Amazon, Napster) and as a strictly limited special edition double CD exclusively available from Out Of Line.
