Ok I'm back now in Stockholm after four days of party madness in Berlin, celebrating the 20 years anniversary of the old Berlin wall. Today I discovered this fine pearl of beat-driven psych-pop; a Brooklyn trio called Sensual Harassment . Just the name wanted me to know more about these guys. First song up "Daddy Long Legs" combines Moroder arpeggiators with the throbbing funk and aggression of Afrika Bambaataa. Second song "Soldier", and my favourite, has that melodic crescendo reminding of Flaming Lips or perhaps Pet Shop Boys. Read [...]
Sensual Harassment is a fresh new act from Brooklyn, New York. They feel "big", like in that they could steamroll a live-set. They combine new-wave with huge reverbs and church-like synths with vocals that could make a nun weep. There's hope in this music, there's desperation. There's rejoicing and dance. It's what new-wave was all about. Sound like Flaming Lips pool-partying with LCD Soundsystem. And I would recommend all producers and what-nots to check out their stems of Daddy Long Legs , and remix the bejesus out of it. And they [...]
I could not seem to scrape up a whole lot on Brooklyn's Sensual Harassment besides the fact that they describe themselves as "a Reptilian Humanoid alliance utilizing sonic mind control... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Well busy at the mo, but here's a quick electro dancer from Sensual Harassment to keep you going if you're having a busy day like mine. I know little about the band, apart from they could do with a new name and they're from New York, but I do like this song. You can download it for free and another single off their website.

Reverb. Distort. Sensual Harassment . What do you say to a band with a name like that, hmm? If you're a freak for catchy bass hooks and distorted synths like me then the only thing you can say "Yes!" NYC's Sensual Harassment have just released their new single and they want us to have a taste of it. Far from being a reptilian-humanoid alliance of charles-manson-esque proportions, Sensual Harassment is actually a band, who carves out lush, distorted 80's synth pop waves over robotic chanting vocals and fuzzy guitars locked on overdrive. Mmmm yeahhhh.... [...]
Wow, we are A-OK with provokings as long as it's as sexy as this! Sensual Harassment is a Brooklyn trio who utilizing sonic mind control through beat-driven psych-pop. In their debut broadcast, the boys seamlessly shape-shifts from reverb-drenched post-apocalyptic new wave to epileptic space disco. Transmitted from their headquarters in Southside Williamsburg, the band wisely recruited Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Animal Collective and The Misfits) to help engineer the cerebral revolution. 2 new tracks for ya too! Soldier is an electrified [...]
d l: SENSUAL HARASSMENT - Carnal Spirits ( YSI ) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------- ------- I'll admit it. When I posted "Mirror" a few months ago, I wasn't sure whether Sensual Harassment would ever appear on this blog again. At the time, I wasn't really sure what direction their sound was heading towards, and confession number two---I'm still not sure. While I referred to "Mirror" as being "on the verge of power-dance-emo" [...]
dl: SENSUAL HARASSMENT - Mirror ( YSI ) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------- ------- I don't know diddly-hoo about John Barclay or Todd Thomas (The Fashion Brigade, Emergency Broadcast System), but I certainly do enjoy "Mirror", a song from the Brooklyn duo's latest project Sensual Harassment . I was first drawn to them by their photos on the space , in which the members' faces are consistently hidden behind two animal masks-- a pig [...]
