Lookbook
Lookbook is from Minneapolis, Minnesota specializing in a new fusion of pop psychedelic disco music.
WE BELIEVE, AS A RULE:
1. Cave beats are best.
2. Everything should be danceable.
3. Bass Lines should be singable.
4. Singing is noise.
5. Guitars should be hypnotic... and singable.
6. Performances should be worth three times what you would pay.
KIND WORDS IN THE FORM OF CRITICAL PRAISE:
"This-a-Way couldn't be off to a better start, with Lookbook's album carving quite a unique path between disco and rock. Shades of goth and krautrock darken what otherwise could sound like vacant dance floor motions, and they do a splendid cover of early U2 B-side "Trash, Trampoline, and The Party Girl" to boot. Lookbook never makes the mistake of sounding too mechanical, and are all the more dance-worthy because of it." Ned Lannaman (Portland Mercury)
"Lookbook's minimalist avant-garde pop can destroy audiences." Ian Rasmussen (Willamette Week)
"It’s a bubbly new wave record loaded with hooks and just the right amount of noise and rock-’n'-roll grime." Mark Lore (Days Of Lore)
ENDORSEMENTS FROM A FEW CONTEMPORARIES:
"Lookbook has continually turned frigid rock bars into dance clubs with it’s fusion of dance music, krautrock and rock ‘n’ roll (think MGMT, Happy Mondays, Kraftwerk and T.Rex) – a sound captured perfectly on debut record The Look and Feel. PDX Pipeline
"A band arriving at the dance remix of a song from the get go is brilliant and modern. This album is a hit!." Richard Shirk (Soft Tags)
"When there's that many dames in the front row, you know they're doing something right." Mistina Keith (The Prids)
"Listening to the new Lookbook record sounds perfect, even on a laptop." Nathan Junior (M Ward/Mike Coykendall/Sea Wolf)
"That performance last night done made my big toe shoot up in muh boot." text message from Chris Koza (We Miss The Earth)
