Hemme Fatale - “Peryglus Lucifer”
Hemme Fatale (they know that’s not the correct french, and they don’t care) are 2 girls and a guy from Cardiff that met while temping at a private agency. The three of them make up another one of those electro-pop bands that are all the rage at the moment, and they’re just as good as any of the others. Though the obvious and exaggerated 80s influences set them a little higher than the others (if that’s your thing, at least). My favourite part about these guys is how they describe themeselves on their MySpace page:
One day we hope to rescue Britney from her celebrity hell and take her down [W]etherspoons for a gas, but for now we’re just making some pop songs[.]
This song is the last song to be completed for their Silent Sleepover EP. It’s an excellent, bouncy track that features “fists in the air 80’s saxophone” and Aled Phillips of Kids in Glass Houses providing the male vocals.
The full EP and a remix of Modernaire’s “Fait Tes Jeux” are downloadable from their MySpace page. If you like what you hear, and happen to be a Cardiff local, you can catch them at the Hell’s Bent Festival, a 7-hour festival, on the 20th June.
