Is there anything on the new album that sounds anything like Chemical Fever? I got the impression that it was a one-off but I'd like more.

Nothing particularly like Chemical Fever, sadly.

think i'm feeling this a lot more than the debut, on reflection - certainly keeps me coming back to it more. love the strings and soprano touches and she really has a knack for dropping really heavy bass at the right times

ta for the nudge lex, just refound this in the archive, knew i had it somewhere - for some reason its not listed in the albums listings.
damn : 'sing to me' is a genuine shiver up spine track for me.

finally listened to this - really gorgeous-sounding record. I think moving her vocals upfront makes it significantly less menacing than the debut, but her sound design remains flawless. sounds amazing on headphones.
suffers a bit from wanting to be pop but being not-quite-pop enough though.

mh (xp by 2 months) I was just posting my 2011 album poll ballot.
My fave on Dva remains "Sing to Me", which also happens to be the one most similar to past work.

Have you noticed the biggest fan of Emika on twitter, and maybe in North America, is Hank Shocklee?

DREI is amazing and one of my favorites this year.

"Flashbacks" just popped up on my ILM single noms shuffle play, and really reminded me of c. 1990 Mylène Farmer. Which is cool, since I listened to L'Autre just the other day and thought maybe I should search out more of that aesthetics.
