A bold fusion of synth rock and disco
This single is a genre-defying reconstruction of the disco classic "Funkytown," and includes the original song "Lies Are Nothing," giving it both pop and avant-garde elements.
What stands out is their bold reinterpretation of Lipps Inc.'s disco hit "Funkytown" from the perspective of a synth rock band. While retaining the original's dynamism, the arrangement, incorporating electro guitar and synth phrases, skillfully navigates the "gap between pop and experimental" splendor. Side B, "Lies Are Nothing," has a subdued sound that evokes the band's original expression, contrasting with the brilliance of Side A. The single as a whole exudes their ambition to fuse club and rock sensibilities to a sophisticated level.
