Lounge will never die - not if cats like Monsieur Blumenberg have anything to do with it. Irma Records presents the first solo album of Federico “Kikko” Montefiori (of Montefiori Cocktail). If any of you have ever listened to Montefiori Cocktail then you might have an idea of what he sounds like. If not - then take 60’s go-go, 50’s lounge, french pop, big-beat sensibilites and a few strong lattes, then there you are.

Musique Et Couleurs is a playful, classy trip into electro-lounge. Fourteen tracks strong, Musique et Couleurs offers an infectious rush of Latin rhythms and a dense collage of catchy loops and samples. Reverb guitar collides with operatic outbursts over a roiling boil of bass, drums and keys. This is truly a toe-tapping mix. I challenge you to contain a smile listening to it.

If this all sounds hopelessly retro then it isn’t for you. If you’re a fan of Tipsy, Pizzicato Five, Fantastic Plastic Machine and other upbeat electro lounge artists, than it’s a sure thing. Catch it if you can.
