***CHECK STOCK!!! Received a 7.6 Rating From Pitchfork. Discovered by former tourmates (and now labelmates) Of Montreal, CASIOKIDS generate the kind of addictive melodies that inevitably transform any audience into a joyous, dancing mass. Featuring the first Norwegian-language pop music ever to be released in the US, Topp Stemning På Lokal Bar (loosely translated to “Great Vibe At Local Bar”) contains the type of distinctive vocal harmonies and danceable pop hooks that translate flawlessly no matter where you’re from. Spanning the widths and breadths of bass heavy pop, synthy dub and darker percussive club moments, Casiokids makes its music felt as much as heard. The songs on Topp Stemning På Lokal Bar were previously distributed in Europe via Moshi Moshi, both as part of the label’s renowned Singles Club and as a series of double A-sided 7-inches. For this debut US release, all eight tracks have been re-mastered and are accompanied by a bonus disc of new material (including six remixes and two covers.) (STREET DATE - 6/08/2010)
