Invisible Conga People are the latest offering from New Jersey's flawless Italians Do It Better label, home of dark-disco acts such as Glass Candy and Chromatics (two of last years most essential new bands). In contrast to their silly name, ICP's Eric Tsai and Justin Simon make very subtle, kraut-inspired electronic music. Their new double A-side Weird Pains/Cable Dazed is available now on 12" through Italians Do It Better, and it is rather good.
Both tracks take ages to build, but when they do, the thin blankets of burbling, affected guitars on top of haunting beats flow like an electronic steam of consciousness. The better of the two tracks, Cable Dazed draws similarities to The Knifes Silent Shout through its mystical, tranced-out beats and dead-pan vocals, yet ICP's more stripped down approach adds a greater air of mystery to the song. I would certainly keep an eye on ICP, as I believe they are set to follow in the footsteps of their Italians Do It Better counterparts, and do something very special.
