YesAsia Editorial Description
Hong Kong indie favorite the pancakes releases her first album in two years. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, cheese! comes with ten fun and whimsical tracks in the artist's trademark childlike singsong voice. At least two of the album's numbers should already be familiar to fans of animated pig McDull, as the release includes "Gum Gum Gum" (Track 5), the award-winning theme song to McDull, Prince de la Bun, and "Fing Fing Ha" (Track 1), the follow-up theme to McDull, The Alumni. Other songs on the album include "Handwritten Notes" (Track 2), "Blue Sky" (Track 6), and "Sunset, Night Has Come" (Track 9), the pancakes' own version of the Brahms' Lullaby. Somewhere between singing and talking, the pancakes' unique musical style carries an irresistible charm, a return to innocent sounds while addressing the concerns and sentiments of the modern adult.

More Cheese, Please!

The Pancakes, according to this CDs additional English liner notes, is actually one gal HK artist Dejay, who writes, performs and produces all her melodic output. Although purely happy fun songs in one respect, the song/lyrics also synthesize more serious configurations about conventional gray life, but when these songs shine their light on everyday mundane things, suddenly life seems to get a new Technicolor outlook. You'll certainly have a smile on your face after listening to this! The songs are a mixture of Cantonese and English synth pop, which makes this album more widely accessible, I suppose, but all the melodies are fantastic, even if you lack understanding of the respective languages. For me, this CD also brought back memories of 80s bands I listened to in the UK at the time - The Raincoats, Altered Images, Girls at our Best, (to name several) and likewise, this album's styled indie flavored 80s pop groove, fits nicely into their category. The songs are childlike in experimentation and fantastically uplifting, but without being too sickly cute or babyish to make them impossibly ridiculous for adults to appreciate. Certainly The Pancakes are for anybody to listen too! You're sure to have fun listening to this! With "Fing Fing Ha" (track 1), your zeal is immediately lifted by Dejay's addictive cute voice and the songs instant upbeat melody. Track 2 and 3 also have instant addictive and catchy rhythms and Dejay's sweet melodics just melt you heart, with two more songs easily accessible and approachable. By track 4, with the English lyrical song "Clouds", this is where the CD soared for me, (its just g-r-e-a-t!) and with the additional Kraftwerk synth pop beat, I was humored into a cackling and giggly child myself, by the way this nostalgic melody filled my body, as well as my soul, with utter appreciative joy! If this doesn't get you on your dancing toes, little will! "Clouds" is such a sure fire winner you cannot fail to like it, and the song screams (although not literally) to be a hit single! I loved the "Walk on the Wild Side" Lou Reed type do-do do-do vocal on the refrain, that added a bit of juxtaposed nostalgia (well, for me, anyways) amidst the innocence and freshness of the song. "Gum Gum Gum" (track 5) is an award winning song for a TV programme called "McDull, Prince da la Bun", by what I have read, and I can well understand its high merit, as its another brilliantly produced (and catchy) song. It immediately grows on you as you listen, with its slightly mad, but utterly endearing childlike melody (you'll be crying 'happy' tears with this!), and the technical aspect to this simple and complex song, is amazing! Dejay is one superb and astute tune smith! If you have pondered on trying out The Pancakes, but feel you're either too old, too young, or your street cred could be in jeopardy for buying a 'child like sounding CD' (which is totally misleading, anyway, here), or even feel shy of the indie pop scene....cast all those doubting Thomas of tomfoolery thoughts asunder, as "1,2,3,4,5,6, Cheese!" is one of the most crafted pieces of musical fun your ears will come across this year. The whole idea of a Pancakes album, too, is to lift your spirits and bring back innocent memories of youth (unless you are a youth, of course), in a creative and retrospective manner. This CD is fun, intelligent, relaxing, un-restricted....its brilliant! I don't know what The Pancakes other CDs are like, but this one has certainly whetted my appetite to hear more. If Dejay can release one album called "Stereo Radio / Right" and another complete album entitled "Stereo Radio / Left", by that alone she wins me over, by the pure cute audacity of Dejay's sense of fun! Go on, buy some sunshine, you certainly won't regret getting this! One thing, though, I think Dejay ought to have an album called "The Shrove Tuesday" tapes, that could be realized as a title for un-released demos! :) |
