When a band’s biography describes them as “undeniably disco”, such an M.O. usually sends the would-be listener running for the hills. But now since everyone and their brother is experimenting with synths and workstations of all different kinds, it doesn’t seem highly unlikely that a band would adopt the syncopated electric bass and hi-hat mainstay of old Bee Gees and Donna Summer songs, and that it would work. It’s not exactly Partridge Family polyester shirts and plaid bellbottoms, though — there’s a lot in Crazy P‘s music that is perhaps blasphemously modern, and their beats and dance melodies may seem to walk the line between stuck in the past or just pointless and wandering. It seems to be a healthy dose of both,judging by their rapidly increasing following–whether out of nostalgia or appreciation for the genre’s heyday, Crazy P may be the only band that can possibly bring disco back. Take a step into the future and the gold-chained, leisure-suited days of yesteryear at The Red Bull Music Academy and see what you think.
