The Stranger

When French fur traders first imported the vocoder to Canada, they couldn't have known what an impact it would eventually have. Alberta's Shout Out Out Out Out (take that, !!! (!)) join the ranks of countrymen MSTRKRFT and Chromeo in their fondness for the roboticizing power of the vocal encoder. The sextet dispense neon funk jams with titles like "Chicken Soup for the Fuck You" and "Your Shitty Record Won't Mix Itself" highlighted by smooth, synthetic crooning.
