There are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously; that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. Benoit & Sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. The unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism ? first exhibited on 2009?s highly praised What I?ve Lost EP, which included the brilliantly sardonic single ?Full Grown Man? ? exemplifies why Benoit & Sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. It?s good news, then, that the Washington, D.C./Berlin-based outfit?s eagerly expected DFA debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors.
