Title: Fun & Sass
Review: In your face pop with an American sense of stylish consumerism (if you've gotta, do it right!), this album is the essence of drunk dance and woo-hoo good times! Creating fun-on-a-stick, Bis succeed in making your body move by sound alone (no cultivated mass media image, no happy-meal toys, no movie-deals). Armed in this album with a hefty load of electronics and a good sense of "hook," Bis create music for a "pop revolution" that puts fun and quirk back into the radio. If only they *had* some radio play. One of the best last albums of last century, Bis succeeds in making me dance and even though the female vocalist screams through half the tracks (don't misread me, though. This screaming is in tune. It's coy, smarty-pants, and ultimately "fun"--screaming pop on the opposite end of Shona Knife, I assure you). Fantastic fun with cars and fashion and a middle-finger. Excellent!
