With Lesbians On Ecstasy, I have never quite been able to tell where the joke starts and where it stops. They’re a bit of an enigma. And depending our your personality, you could take them very serious — like woah, this is so political — or just laugh along and dance and enjoy them on a total surface level. The ability to enjoy them on multiple levels may be why they work so well. Their self titled debut earned them a lot of praise though it was a bit too experimental for most to really “get it.” Giggles In The Dark, the remix album that followed not long after, was a bit more straight forward and easier to listen, but it was a remix album — and as we all know, remix albums are often reserved for the fans.
Lesbians On Ecstasy is set to drop their sophomore album, We Know You Know, April 10th on Montreal’s Alien8. From the couple tracks I’ve sampled it seems like the band has ventured into more traditional songwriting. For example, “The Cold Touch Of Leather” is a bit singy-songy — like a classic protest song — it could easily be adopted by Take Back The Night on college campuses regardless of its darker, suggestive title.
“Party Time” sounds a bit like the other drug infused girl womyn band, Chicks On Speed — but with the smuttiness of the dirtiest Peaches lyric. The dance rap arena is definitely an area that I’m happy to see LOE exploring.
