Cooper Temple Clause - Let's Kill Music / Who Needs Enemies?
I was at Waterloo Records in Austin recently, and I bought about 15 European import singles that were in the $1 bin. These are two of them, by a British band called Cooper Temple Clause. I don't think they've ever done anything in the U.S.
I like 'em. The singles, that is. Very punk mixed with funk mixed with techno, but not in that wussy Hot Hot Heat way. The two B-sides are pretty boring, the two "dance remixes" are even more boring, and the video you can watch on the "Who Needs Enemies?" disc looks like it was made for about $750.
According to the NME, these singles are off the band's first album, and their second is already out. It'll be released in the U.S. in February. Make a note.
