Artist- Jamaica
Album- No Problem
Label- Cooperative USA
Following up on their Cross the Fader EP from fall 2010, Parisian duo Jamaica is back with their first full-length. As before, this is produced by Xavier de Rosnay (of Justice) and Peter Franco (Daft Punk’s engineer) and their influence shows in Jamaica’s electro-tinged rock. The best tracks of the EP reappear on the LP (#1, 2, and 11), but new tracks “The Outsider” and “By the Numbers” are just as good. Jamaica sounds like a harder Phoenix than they do Daft Punk, but I still dig their punk staccato guitar riffs and the duo certainly has a knack for melody. (None of the remixes tacked on are particularly worth playing).
