Variety Lab returns with its fantastic new record Team Up!My first thoughts upon initially hearing it where flashes of a technicolor collage. The seamless blending of genres throughout the album is a masterpiece in it's own right. Variety Lab seems like the perfect name for a project so diverse, spanning tropicalia, electro, indie, acid jazz and disco.
"We Should Be Dancing," the first single off "Team Up" features vocals from David Bartholomé (lead singer of Belgian band Sharko) and is fully successful in creating a captivating track accompanied by a clever whimsical video.
Variety Lab, is the alias of Theirry Bellia. As in the past Bellia, alone, put Team Up! together, but he didn't forget to emphasize his friends' assistance in the process. His henchmen from the French band Orwell(Jérôme Didelot and Alexandre Longo, aka Cascadeur and winner of the 2008 Inrockuptibles CQFD prize) have made considerable contributions along with a host of instruments, weird objects and talented friends.
Team Up! is due out on December 15th, 2009. Just in time for the holidays! In the meantime, support Variety Lab by sending some love to the links below and downloading the free track off the Album!
