De/Vision is a band who requires no
introduction to the pop music audience.
This electro-pop duo has been among
the leading representatives of its genre
for almost twenty years, and has always
nonchalantly succeeded in reinventing
itself during that time, exploring the
limitations of its full potential and filling
the much-abused term of “crossover”
with exciting new potential. On NOOB,
songs such as “Death Of Me”, “What
You Deserve”, “Flavour Of The Week”
and “Love Will Find A Way” shimmer
with an with invigorating lightness, while
“See What I See” immerses the listener
in melancholy dream worlds. Above all
this hovers a nostalgic retro feeling that
brings to mind the band's musical roots,
a time of busy experimentation in the
burgeoning electro scene, with artists
merging elements of pop, rock, ambient
and more into an exciting new sound.
“NOOB” finds that De/Vision has once
again succeeded in getting to the heart
of the songs, in a pleasantly reduced
style with modern as well as classical
touches.
