Amateur Girlfriends Go Proskirt Agents was originally released in 2001, and soon got the “classic” stamp. Tracks from this album is still on the top 10 streaming numbers for Xploding Plastix. Now, the full tracklisting from the album is finally presented on a deluxe double vinyl version, with 6 bonus tracks!
With their mixture of obscure jazz-samples, cool beats, melodic feel, an “anything goes”-mentality and quite a bit of humour, Xploding Plastix created their own unique style. A kind of older Amon Tobin meets Scott Walker on a smoke filled sleazy jazz-club. Throw in an exquisite taste for film-noire, and we are getting closer. This is Balearic beats, lo-fi, state of the art fuck-upz, simply sweet!
NME wrote: “Meanwhile, over at Jam, Norwegians Xploding Plastix – two nutcases with lots of small boxes and a terrible name – are offering upheaval of a different kind. Theirs is a big, disorienting future-jazz racket, splicing DJ Food’s mad drums, Aphex Twin’s time signatures and The Herbaliser’s moodiest, cinematic bits. Awesome.”
