ADD TO BASKETOne Dollar Peep Show have finally emerged, blinking, from their 18-month self incarceration at Wired studios. In their hands they have a long-awaited album entitled Showreel. Bringing together a wildly disparate collection of influences, the record combines organic- sounding electro pop with wayward guitars and a 'healthy' dose of ungodly experimental noise that, on occasion, verges on the filthy. Produced by Weird City's Chris Britton, the album is reminiscent of a guitarier Metric, or possibly an electronic incarnation of The Cardigans, while singer Minna Harris' dark musings make this is the ideal soundtrack for doing away with that unfaithful spouse.BUY SHOWREEL
"When you hear the opening cut ‘under your skin’ you’ll understand fully why we’ve been much smitten."

"THIS is how it's done. 1DPS ...are smart enough to realise that electronica has to be handled with care when vocals are concerned. Consequently, while the backing here occasionally strays into fat synthland, it doesn't overpower singer Minna's voice by being too hard or clinical, and Minna herself doesn't embellish what God gave her with mock American flourishes or drama student airs. She's the kind of girl who sounds like she'd be just as at home singing with some inaccessable grrl group, a fey indie band or Stereolab. 1DPS are somewhere between all three and aren't afraid to explore both ends of the electronic indie spectrum- at one they sound like Ladytron, at the other Curve... the atmosphere is good: dirty and a bit melancholic.

Not content with defiling the public's ears via their own music, One Dollar Peep Show's Scott Lawrence and Nigel Firth created the Naughty Boys production team with Weird City honcho Chris Britton in order to spoil other peoples songs as well. Having already remixed the likes of Bo Diddley and Barry White, the trio currently have their beady conniving eyes on 'Duvet' By Bidgie Reef and the Gas and 'I Wish I Could Live the Life You Live' by Oxford's Witches. They are also currently reworking a number their own songs from the 'Showreel' album to fit the Dancefloor/Boudoire/Crackhouse.
'Under Your Skin' wormed its wiggly way onto Tim Bearder's Download show on BBC Oxford last Saturday. Funny thing is we didn't send him a CD... Turns out it was the lovely folks at Nightshift wot bunged him one. MMMMMMMWAH! Love you Nightshift! Many thanks to Darth Bearder himself too (you have to listen to the show to get that one; do so here).
