OK That’s Actually Kinda Hot

Bassvictim “Air On A G-String”

“Air On A G String” has the spirit of true undiluted early ’00s electroclash, but it doesn’t fully register as a retro thing because the synths and programming are firmly rooted in contemporary electronic pop. In other words, it’s like if Miss Kittin or Chicks On Speed hopped on a Brat remix. The title and lyrical conceit is basically a cheeky, pervy pun on Bach’s “Air On the G String,” and I admire vocalist Maria Manow’s commitment to the bit. She has the perfect deadpan for this sort of song – a vague Eurotrash accent, the universal cool girl affect, in on the trashy joke but also legitimately playful and flirty. You could’ve sold so much American Apparel with this song.
