Felix da Housecat - What She Wants

Felix "da Housecat" Stallings' new album, "Devin Dazzle & the Neon Fever," is far from the groundbreaking masterpiece that was 2001's "Kittenz & Thee Glitz," but it still stands out as a song-driven, crossover dance concept album (a mouthful). It's definitely worth owning...

"What She Wants" is my favorite track on "Devin Dazzle," and that's probably because I am very partial to James Murphy (The DFA & lcd Soundsystem), who lends his super-no-wave vocal stylings. The song comes off sounding like something from the DFA label (which you should definitely check out if you like this track), with it's disco-esque baseline and pure reliance on repetition for dance-ability. "What She Wants," along with the rest of the spate of new music that mysteriously marries house and indie-rock, nostalgically expands upon the undiscovered New York "disco-punk" of the early 80s - possibly to its detriment - but I, myself, cannot get enough!
