Persil are a Dutch duo who have three Peel Sessions, a couple of singles and an album behind them. Comfort Noise is the follow up to 2004's Duotone album and last years excellent Tune-Up EP. It's a welcome return for the bands brand of fuzzy pop music which is sampler/synth based and supplemented by David's chainsaw guitar and Martines' vocals.The album kicks off with Light Up My Life which is one of the best songs they have made to date with it's frantic pace and vocals. They slow it down with Vox and Feet before upping gear yet again with excellent songs such as Arkadelphia and Alice Austen. That's pretty much the pattern for the whole album with the songs changing from the jangle pop to the more serious electronica based variety.
With the twelve songs clocking at under forty minutes Comfort Noise isn't going to be the album of the year nor will it change your life. However it will leave you with a grin on your face and a renewed sense of energy. Top stuff! (7/10)
You can listen to the album online here and you can buy it from Transformed Dreams.
