Review: Number - Discoid (Ramrock Red Records)

Ramrock Red have finally pollinated the new single from Number with a big 'Discoid' that's template for the dancefloor.

If you're following the curious evolution of Number from 'Le Boucle Nouveau' (see review HERE)  and 'Pollinate' album (see review HERE), this 'A Certain Radio, Talking Heads, P-Funk' hybrid project.  Taking this single from the album, now with vocal and instrumental versions, D-I-S-C-O-I-D dancefloor is aiming high this summer holiday with pollination potential

As we know 'Discoid' has that disco groove and old skool vocoder that seems to be trendy once more but don't turn off as it's knob setting is low so it doesn't disctract as would an AI would - suspect these guys love their analog equipment.

We're told Ali and Rich (aka Number) grew up with "the dirty disco bass lines, noisy drum machines, wonky percussion, leering live drums, jagged guitar melodies and uplifting soulful songs of the 80's" with their original incarnation as Red Snapper that flowered in the 90s sharing stages/studios with The Prodigy, Björk and Massive Attack, ACR, The Sugarhill Gang , Edwyn Collins, The Sabres of Paradise, David Holmes and more.

BBC Radio 6's Lauren Lavern is a big fan of Number and get ready to move your 'Discoid' butt.
