Tryphème - Online Dating

First post from long-time lurker/Day For Night attendee/braindance devotee...

Have any of you all checked this out yet?  I ordered this from CPU several weeks back and got my copy in the mail last Friday (two-weeks early!)  What a gem this album is.  Never heard of Tiphaine before this, but she has put out a record equal to or above CPU's best.  The comparison to early Merck below is spot on.  She sounds like she has been at this for years.

From Boomkat: CPU keep the levels ticking with Tryphème’s debut album, Online Dating, presenting a suite of heady electronic atmospheres and clipped braindance torque in a classically romantic ’90s style “Introducing Tryphème aka Tiphaine Belin a Machiniste / Synthesizer-friendly artistfrom Lyon, France. With a style already being compared to the much lamented output from the Merck label, Belin brings things right up-to-date with her unique blend of melody, super tight vocals and syncopated drum arrangements. Fun, optimistic and technically stunning, the album is an amazing journey into new wave intelligent dance music. Her approach to each track see's her effortlessly traversing styles, linking harmonies and creating emotive dance rhythms equally suited to a big room as they are to chill-out. Belin's genre categories for the album hooked us in without even hearing the tracks; healthy-tronica, break-kiss-tronica and happy-synth to name a few. Fans of Plaid, μ-Ziq and Mrs Jynx - this one is for you.”

Just received the promo CD.

This is lush.She has the nicest melodic sensivity.

Some top braindance tracks in there for sure and + some tracks have some smooth sensual female vocals on them:this is how pop should sound.

Some beautiful stuff!!!

Mélodramatique is worth it alone to get the album or EP.Damn good track.

...also just been checking some of her mixes lately. She truly is a cut above.

Nobody else spinning this?

Really digging this.

Bought this recently on the bandcamp. Havent spent much time with it yet, but it sounded promising is all i know. Im positively surprised to read some french lady is behind this. Its nice to have some electronic tunes made by something other than a nerdy bedroom producer whos afraid of daylight and socializing. ;-)

She could still be.

fair point. should have said "producer-guy", i guess.

I've been enjoying this.

Her mixes have been the best find, loads of shoegaze and melancholic chamber pop. I speak French and finding loads of cool french artists there too.
