Album Description

Mon Frere's world is inside-out and upside-down; a world ruled by vampires, ninjas and strange mathematics. Hard and soft, fast and slow, innocent and evil, all in the same moment, Mon Frere mixes electro pop, brash punk and avant jazz into a noise so riveting that you'll thank the heavens they're only a trio. <P>Real Vampires has a little bit of something for everyone, especially those who like dirty guitar lines, cartoonish keyboards, volcanic jazz inflected drumming, and a singer who sounds hot before you even get the chance to see her.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Synth Dance Punk.......2005-12-27

Call me vain, call me sexist, call me a pig, call whatever you want, but I'll go out on a limb and say that bands who manage to have hot, female lead singers usually find a way to separate themselves from the rest of their peers, simply because they have that hot female lead that can turn the head of horny little 15 year olds at concerts. Trust me, it works.

Mon Frere's Nouela Johnston might not be the hottest girl around, but her voice sure as hell is. It's her vocals, dancing over the dark synth dance punk background of the rest of the band that makes you want to listen to this EP over and over again unlike, say, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Nouela kills Karen O). Not too dissimilar from Karen O, Nouela has a very natural ebb and flow, but it feels much more matched to this style of music.

This style consists of a healthy electronic framework-the keys are definitely a main focus on this EP-complemented by a very angular, thick, and punchy dose of guitar, well paced drums, and even a few hand claps. At under 14 minutes in length, though, you seriously don't get enough material to satiate your Mon Frere cravings (trust me, you'll get them once you put this disc in), but that's why there's the repeat button on your cd player. Use it!
