This is (also) the best album the band has ever recorded!
Coming a full 21 years after their debut left-field dancefloor hit “Corporate Slave”, “Babes in Consumerland” sees the band in transition as never before. Though not mentioned explicitly lyrically, band mastermind Dee Thrussell’s long journey to recently arrive as a transgender woman informs every musical gesture and plaintive lyric. Still possessed of a striking social conscience and the blackest of humours, “Everything is under Control” exclaims a reverie around social conditioning over a hefty shuffle. “Bleak is My favourite Chic” chronicles a troubled internal landscape over pogo beat, fuzz-punk bass and squealing analogue synths.
Timely and provocative, “Apocalypse Fatigue” pleads for an end, as an EMS VCS3 chirps and a Fairlight CMI choir purrs.
