\\the Diogenes Club: 'Do You Know How To Feel It?'
\\Released: 21st September 2009
The latest EP to come via the Diogenes Club, ‘Do You Know How To Feel It?’ is Diogenes Club Plus.
Following a string of wonderfully idiosyncratic and freshly skewed instrumental EPs and remixes, the Diogenes Club have now been bolstered by the addition of song-writing vocalist Paul Giles. The combination of the Club’s quirky take on ‘80s funk and synth-laden melodies and Paul’s sweetly melancholic vocals make a resounding match. The startling effect has not gone unnoticed; and Pete Tong has already made ‘Do You Know How To Feel It?’ one of his ‘Calm before the storm’ tracks on his Radio 1 show. This EP pioneers the way ahead for the reinvigorated Diogenes Club, trailblazing along a path of emotionally-charged melody-driven electronic song.
\\1. Come Back To Us
Paul’s dreamily melancholic vocals drift upon lazy currents of funk. An evocative song whose power and impact grow with every listen.
\\2. Do You Know How To Feel It?
An immediately uplifting track with an endearing poppy charm. It is no less than brilliant in its simplicity and disarmingly irresistible in its vulnerability.
\\3. The Ageless
A stirring song with a haunting chorus that combines with genius guitar-lead hooks and left-field electronica.
\\4. Early May
A track somehow beautifully dejected, captivatingly eerie and pricked with sadness, ‘Early May’ optimises the extra edge that Paul’s poignant vocals bring to the Club’s sound.
the Diogenes Club are Matt (or Dob) and Paul Giles. Matt writes song-based electronic melodies and Paul sings and writes lyrics. Before the two met, Matt produced a number of EPs and remixes as the Diogenes Club for Urban Torque. ‘Do You Know How To Feel It?’ is the first release to feature Paul’s contributions.
