The Pop Corporation

Want a bit of avant garde absurdism in your pop? You’re in luck.

Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul are a Belgian duo who make the kind of electro-pop we think Grace Jones would like. That Tina Weymouth would love! With elastic-band synth bass, dancefloor ready drum machines, and off-kilter and super sharp lyrics, there’s everything to love. From anti-colonial barbs, snarking at idiots and fun fun fun, this should be right up your street.

Making a hook out of a laugh like that Serge track from Melody Nelson? That’s the kind of strange behaviour we need to applaud in pop music, right? In their track ‘HAHA’, they do exactly that, using all that good stuff you like from the ’80s without sounding like boring Stranger Things inspired synthpop.

It’s camp. It’s gorgeous. It’s well-dressed. Enough of the writing – go and make them one of your new favourite bands.
