What do you get when you have an image of 70s porn and wipe it all over house, disco, punk, funk and glam rock? A crusty white tissue and tight glitter trousers? Probably. With In Flagranti the result is Brash and Vulgar, their follow up to 2006’s Wronger Than Anyone Else.

You may ask what 70s porn crossed with music sounds like. Well it’s quite infectious and definitely a bit quirky. The Italo Disco influenced “I Can Thrill & Delight” completely embodies this. The smutty vocals from Tatiana Ilinas gives the track a minxy attitude whilst the off key chimes and horse claps give it that quirky wonkiness. Odd but undeniably catchy.

In the same catchy category is the funk strutting “A Piece of False Morality”. It’s pumped up disco lines and funk rhythms give it such a hook for the insect life spanning two minutes it has you bouncing off the walls. Then you have title track Brash and Vulgar. Its Giorgio Moroder styled synth and disco samples has a great vintage quality yet sounds quite modern in the nu rave house realm.But its not just all disco and funk. The boys throw a curve ball with Svelte Blonde, a sultry glam rock track which has smoking Goldfrapp style vocals.

However the itchy energy of the first part of the album soon fizzles out however with the later half flagging with a series of tracks made up of monotonous cosmic loops. Which is a shame to end an album with such a promising start with its humour, energy and cheekiness which made it blushingly charming.
