Review

Introduced by Brighton-based Spymania (Squarepusher, Jamie Lidell) with Kotva, in 2001, Hypo has now become an icon-like figure of Active Suspension, for which he achieved three full lengths of atypical and stubbornly original electronic pop. Grinningly ironic and deadly serious at the same time, Hypo wanders in the soapy world of pop music, mistreating clichés, mishandling with one gesture new wave, mainstream and experimental music. Asserting the sampled/recycling nature of his music, Hypo still seduces with the totally pop inclination of his songs, labouring for the composition of potential pocket hit tracks, crossbeamed with brillant gestures of experimentation. Emmanuelle de Héricourt is a musician and a singer, playing in various musical projects (her own solo EDH, Les Chanteurs Américains). After the release of her debut album Morgen on Japanese label Intik, Emmanuelle largely contributed to Hypos fourth album Random Veneziano, most notably the explosive track Free Days. Working principally with analogue synthesisers, Emmanuelle composes a unique kind of synthetic pop, light and somber at the same time, where ghostly crooning voices intertwine with references to the 1980s, and vocals that can both be fragile and disincarnated. "The Correct Use of Pets" is Hypo and EDHs first full length collaboration. One can find the eminently recognizable pop alchemy of their respective works, but also the unheard exploration of an absurd and strange animal universe, a kind of anti-lounge music that is exotic and somber at the same time. In all, this is an collection of dancey tracks and persisting pop songs. Emmanuelles lyrics, confront the music in all ways, being at times abstract, light or sanguine, underlining the inner duality of this album, which is at the same time a naïve and a disturbed one, a somber and a playful one.
