Darkel "Self-titled"

The solo debut from Jean-Benoit Dunckel from "Air" masters the fey French disco aesthetic like no one can. Polish "Air" sampled electro-pop and bubblegummed the atmosphere to a perfect pop silk. Darkel doesn't have the trippy dance floor power of "10,000 Hz Legend" or "Kelly Watch the Stars," but the catchy hooks are undeniable and make for great fun, even with lyrics that are a touch silly and trite. It doesn't go down any smoother or mod-disco any cooler than Darkel. -- Herman Snell
