Our Take

The latest offering from the French electro-pop duo X Ray Pop, "Pirate! The Dark Side of the Xin," is a delightful romp through a kaleidoscope of sonic experimentation. With their signature blend of whimsical synth melodies and quirky lyrics, X Ray Pop once again proves why they are true innovators in the indie music scene. Opening track "Treasure Island Disco" sets the tone for the album with its infectious beat and catchy chorus that will have you dancing in no time. The duo's unique blend of retro-futuristic soundscapes and cheeky vocals shines on tracks like "Siren Song" and "Jolly Roger Jig," where they effortlessly blend elements of new wave, punk, and disco into a dizzying whirlwind of sound. But it's on tracks like "Blackbeard's Ballad" and "Captain Hook's Curse" where X Ray Pop truly shines, showcasing their ability to craft darkly humorous narratives that are as catchy as they are compelling. The duo's playful approach to songwriting is on full display here, with each track feeling like a twisted fairy tale brought to life through an eclectic mix of synths and drum machines. Overall, "Pirate! The Dark Side of the Xin" is a rollicking journey through a musical treasure trove that's as fun as it is innovative. X Ray Pop's ability to blend humor, nostalgia, and innovation into their music sets them apart as true pioneers in the indie music landscape. Don't miss out on this swashbuckling sonic adventure! Arrr, mateys!
