Kiss My Arp
Andrea Parker
(Mo' Wax)
| |
|
| | |
| When NASA scientists wanted to make a documentary, who did they call for their music? Meet Andrea Parker, the cunningly clever creator of cacophony. She is a talented DJ who can marry tid-bits of rocket launches and gleeful toddlers as easily as she can finger the Elgar Concerto on her cello. Her debut, Kiss My Arp (Mo' Wax), is a curious conglomeration of moody vocals and eclectic soundbytes with an undulating pulse of techno and hip-hop. |
