The Flesh - Sweet Defeat - CDEP

The sexed-up death disco of Brooklyn NY�s THE FLESH explodes like TIMBALAND, THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, and SERGE GAINSBOURG forming a band at the dawn of the apocalypse: bouncing hip hop beats bashed out on live drums, taut bass lines and horror flick synthesizers pulse against a lyrical world of ill-fated love and biblical violence.

THE FLESH formed during 2001 and quickly earned a reputation for gyrating, dramatic live shows that would do both Prince and Iggy proud. Following a UK tour and the celebrated �Death Connection� debut single in 2003, a live set sparked the interest of acclaimed NYC producer Martin Bisi (SONIC YOUTH, IGGY POP, BRYAN ENO), and the Sweet Defeat EP was born.

On the title track, skittering R&B verses coil around thumping choruses while Gabriella Zappia�s voice joins with Nathan Halpern�s in a subversive pop paean to love-as-sadomasochism. �Night Loop� is a soul anthem for sci-fi dance floors, sinister and jubilant. The tense beat of �Cuts� suggests the Southern hip-hop of JUVENILE on a death trip with THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, leading to an epic, orchestral climax. Cuts� �Empty Temple Remix� is the brainchild of Sanchez Esquire of THE FEVER, and offers an even darker version of the song.
