After her much lauded 2007 debut album ‘Army Behind The Sun’ and largely forgotten appearance on an episode of Mary Queen of Shops London electro popstrel and fashionista Coco Electrik (featured on the Devil’s blog in November and December last year Going Coco In Acapulco&I Should Coco) returns with her new single ‘Shine A Light’ tomorrow, July 20th.
Taken from the forthcoming second album ‘White Ink’ it was recorded between studios in Brighton and the no-mans-land mining outpost Port Hedland, Australia (Google it… it really is in the middle of nowhere). Reuniting Anne Booty with longtime collaborator Paul Harrison (aka Royal Appointment, ex Mains Ignition) ‘Shine A Light’ is poppier than a team of balloon testing hedgehogs hitting a thrilling balance somewhere between a souped up Donna Summer and Daft Punk. The Kreeps (Output Records, Horror’s touring support) remix intensifies the dancefloor leanings of the original resulting in a disco-not-disco club slayer. Meanwhile the dub turns up the tribal drums and adds lashings of the fifth dimension!
Don’t drive like a James Dean, shine a light with Coco Electrik.
