Review: Grabba Grabba Tape – Kurt Kobaya… (or) blank cassettes and old shoes

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season and are ready for the year to come. 2007 is already shaping up to be the best year ever.

Have you ever heard of Grabba Grabba Tape? I hadn’t either until recently, but I am glad I did. This Madrid duo of Gros-OH!-Vot and Lol-OH!-Vot dish out noisy Daft Punkish electro pop that is is pop in the same way that Lightning Bolt is. Yeah.

In addition, they look strange (white fur and neon pink faces), they bang relentlessly on their keyboards and drums, and sing through vocoders. Almost surprisingly, this isn’t a recipe for musical disaster. Their latest album Kurt Kobaya… is brash, bold, and fun. It is out now on Simple Social Graces Discos.
