Music producer Jacknife Lee knows how to tickle my bits. With his eponymous fourth album, he has borrowed filthy underlying sounds more akin to artists like Whitey and The Whip. Jacknife Lee seamlessly fuses a good old rock aesthetic with a contemporary electro beat. ‘What You Want’ is a pounding electro-rock song with a mission to get the Indie kids deep down and dirty while opener ‘Fear of Nothing’,proclaims the uninhibited nature of the album. With lyrics such as “filthy, surging, finger, burning” you know where this music is leading to. It may at times sound over-produced. Jacknife Lee is knicker-droppingly good with enough nasty electro sounds that would make other dance rock outfits like Justice and Digitalism seem harsh in their sound.
