Album:Daphne & Celeste Save the World Artist:Daphne & Celeste Label:Balatonic Genre:PopDuring Daphne & Celeste’s performance of Ooh Stick You at Reading Festival in 2000, metal fans protested the presence of this peculiar pop duo by throwing bottles of urine onstage. Some 18 years later they are back with their second album Daphne & Celeste Save The World, produced by Max Tundra, and it toes the line between genius and insane. With glitchy music that sounds how brain freeze feels, Karen ‘Daphne’ DiConcetto and Celeste Cruz are throwing two fingers up to the world in a heavily autotuned, watered-down Bananarama kind of way that’s less catchy and in no way as good. Daphne and Celeste - BBThe soundscape flits between a Vine video, the My Little Pony theme song on ecstasy and the nightmares of LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy. Daphne & Celeste are bizarrely but magnificently brazen and maybe their off-kilter sugar rush could Save the World.
