"Topical Dancer's political commentary is almost as sharp as its basslines. On "Blenda," Adigery chants, "Go back to your country, where you belong. Siri, can you tell me where I belong?" over percussive synth bass and 80s drum machine hits."
"Adigery and Pupul draw more heavily from rock and early electronic music, at times evoking acts like the Talking Heads. The bass lines on tracks like "Ceci N'est Pas un Cliché" cut through any reservations you might have about throwing your hands up in the air and waving 'em like you just don't care."
Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul's 2022 album, Topical Dancer, combines sharp political commentary with infectious dance rhythms. The record features a mix of rock and early electronic influences, reminiscent of bands like the Talking Heads. Tracks such as "Ceci N'est Pas un Cliché" showcase compelling bass lines that encourage listeners to engage with the music. The album also addresses social issues, with lyrics that challenge listeners to reflect on identity and belonging, particularly in songs like "Blenda" and "Esperanto."
