Misty Lane

Energy

Order now! Mp3s & jpegs

' Misty Lane paves a path to Dark Entries to deliver some quirky Quebecois disco pop. In 1983, producers Michel Bibeau, perhaps best known for his work on Pluton & Humanoids? ?World Invasion,? and Fitz Roy aka Ralph Mashats teamed up with singer Elaine Desjardins, the eponymous Misty Lane. Mashats reminisces about bringing his Roland TR-808 and TB-303 to Michel?s Studio 21 in St. Eustache, two units he regretted later selling for ?a slice of bread.? Michel added hooks with his Roland Jupiter 4 and various studio effects. Their sessions produced ?Energy? and ?Contr?le,? two cuts of slinky synthpop with French-Canadian flair. ?Energy? pops off with proto-house vibes thanks to snappy 808s and Desjardin?s naive-but-enthusiastic vocals, and would fit right into a mid-80s WBMX Radio mix. ?Contr?le? is a mid-tempo groover with tropical atmospheres, sitting perfectly next to to Junior Byron?s ?Dance to the Music,? which was another Bibeau production. Energy comes in a sleeve featuring Elaine at The Chivas Club in Montreal. Fans of Italo, Canadian disco, and oddball wave will rejoice in these artfully produced gems. '
