Description
Lover. Fighter. Prophet. Freak magnet. Time-traveler. Musician, photographer and designer Jimmy Edgar is a wayward star-child streaking across the cosmic dance-floor. Endowed with a supernatural feel for futuristic funk, the Detroit native has been bleeping and grinding about the Milky Way since he was a teenage humanoid. In 2001 at the tender of 18, his hyper-sexed microchip stylings caught the ear of Warp Records, where he cranked out his brand of amped-up laptop funk for the next eight years, culminating in the full-length classic Color Strip. Now 26, Edgar is shaking things up at German beat boutique !K7, with his new album XXX. "XXX sounds like strip-club music made by someone who, well, really loves strip clubs. This is not a surprise from an artist whose most famous track is 'I Wanna Be Your STD.' To put it another way: XXX sounds like what Lords of Acid album covers look like. XXX has attraction, sex, fucking, some afterglow. ... Though the source instruments remain analog keyboards and computers, XXX is a fairly straight pop-funk album." --Pitchfork
