	Fischerspooner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fischerspooner is an electroclash duo and performance troupe formed in 1998 in New York.
		Spiking extremely retro electropop tendencies (recalling Kraftwerk, early Depeche Mode, and Gary Numan) with a modern approach to programming, Fischerspooner produces a quirky, robotic, and strangely subdued kind of dance music.
		In the final months of 2004, Fischerspooner opened up their FS Studios in New York City to the public for a few hours once a week, allowing people to meet the band and production team, as well as preview new video, music and dance projects that they were working on.

		If we scream "electroclash," chances are you'll shout back "Fischerspooner." With "#1," their 2002 album debut, Casey Spooner and Warren Fischer gained a reputation for cooking up a juicy mix of '80s synth and punk influences on their retro-electro skillet, and in the process became frontrunners in the electroclash movement.
		The film, photography, performance and music Fischerspooner were producing also captured the attention of New York’s art world, as a unique hybrid of modern pop culture and performance art.
		They wanted a cohesive album of songs that were more expressive and emotional than their predecessors, aiming for a rich, warm sound in contrast to the crisp surfaces and digital conceptualism of #1.

	Tiny Mix Tapes: Fischerspooner
		Fischerspooner, having already constructed their consistent sonic identity, are now coming to the table with a much-expanded notion of songcraft.
		As if listening to music in the confines of their own homes isn't enough of a privilege, they take it everywhere in futuristic designed devices often referred to as "discman," "walkman" or "ipod." However, there could be reasons why this might enhance the listening experience.
		Fischerspooner's sound is made up of emulated vintage grooves from the Roland TR-606 and TR-808 drum computers and the raw vibes of the TR-303 bass line synthesizer.

		And Fischerspooner's long-running weekly “Excellent Workshop” salon series will conclude on April 14h with an Odyssey album release party at FS Studios, 110 N. First Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

	Fischerspooner: Odyssey - PopMatters Music Review
		As the 20th century came to a tense close, Fischerspooner were one of the most high-profile acts to merge futurism and commerce in the Williamsburg scene that gave rise to electroclash, a sound that was simultaneously retro and starkly forward-thinking.
		In fact, it's debatable whether or not the album was the best example of the electroclash scene, despite the fact that their live performances may have been the best example of the scene's potential realized.
		Pulsing with electronics and the sort of flat vocalizations that characterize much electroclash music, this is Fischerspooner's continuation of #1, but in the crackling and combative electric guitars, the song takes on a new, rockier persona than their debut.

		I credit Fischerspooner for being one of the forerunners of the genre, but I was very relieved when I heard this album would be a pretty big departure.
		Fischerspooner have even enlisted the help of god producer Mirawis in a couple of tracks (who gives the whole rock-disco treatment in usual Mirawis fashion).
		Fischerspooner break out from the formula established on #1--which was a great formula, but would have worn thin if spread over another album.

	Fischerspooner
		Fischerspooner’s pulsing first single, "Emerge," is lyrically based on an early treatment of the group’s mission statement.
		The staid, traditional British music venue, usually reserved for philharmonic orchestras was turned upside down—Casey dove off the stage and surfed the crowd, pyrotechnics exploded, and a heckler was dragged onstage and given a good spanking by Casey, to the great delight of front-row fans like Boy George.
		Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue loved Fischerspooner's hit remix of her single "Come Into My World" so much that she invited Casey to perform a special version of it with her on BBC’s "Top of the Pops" in a tawdry performance that set the British tabloids into overdrive.

	Fischerspooner - PopMatters Concert Review
		Fischerspooner's new album, Odyssey, is simply brilliant -- a grand follow up to their debut, #1.
		Perhaps we were too close to the stage, but the cellulite and varicose veins on the two dancers' legs made the pair more of a distraction than anything else.
		For anyone who had never seen the band before this tour, even a vanilla Fischerspooner show is better than most choices on a Thursday night, but for veterans, this show was a snooze.

		This isn't surprising: Fischerspooner is riding the post-9/11 zeitgeist of New York City, a town that, once a horse's nose ahead of the rest of the world in rock innovation, is now retreating into its past with an avant-garde-scaled vigor for post-punk nostalgia.
		Neither Wire nor Fischerspooner is particularly romantic, in the new-wave, plaster-gargoyle-store sense of the word.
		Yet Fischerspooner treat these brittle lyrics as a bathetic conversation overheard from a ladies' room stall, or a disembodied voice on your answering machine, telling you to please hold for an important message.

		The latest pop act to emerge on the U.K. charts is an American act that calls itself "an experiment in entertainment," one whose lab gear consists of an iBook, a fabulous wardrobe and a firm commitment not to waste energy on keeping it real.
		In addition to their campy, catchy synth-pop music, Fischerspooner are equally known for their theatrical live performances, choreographed but chaotic spectacles featuring Spooner's ever-changing costumes, an MC who doubles as wardrobe assistant and over a dozen singers and dancers.
		Stage performance, lip-synched or not, is a core of the Fischerspooner ethos.

		Eccentric New York City electro-pop duo Fischerspooner skyrocketed to fame not long after musician Warren Fischer and performance artist Casey Spooner -- friends from the Chicago art scene -- joined forces in 1998.
		The show they put on is a visual and aural extravaganza, with a troupe of modern dancers, outrageous costuming and special effects, and a very campy Casey Spooner leading the circus.
		Fischerspooner's music is a soundtrack to a modern-day Factory party.

		For their second album, Fischerspooner had a new agenda.
		While #1 perfectly captured the plugged-in hyperspace of the turn of the millennium, the timeless Odyssey is touched with sweet melancholy and a bruised strength that reflects the turmoil not only between the duo but also in the world around them.
		2005 sees Fischerspooner taking a redesigned show on the road creating a whole new take on their live performance to reflect the organic direction of the album.

		After the tremendous response to the hit single "Emerge," Fischerspooner's 2001 debut album was re-worked and re-released in 2003 as #1.
		In addition to their sleek, beautiful sonic surfaces, Fischerspooner construct mesmerizing synth patterns and melodic hooks that are immediately accessible.
		"Cloud" is a dreamy reverie, contrasting with the electro-funk of "Never Win." Even when Fischerspooner gets political ("We Need a War"), their grip on pitch-perfect neo-New Wave never falters, making ODYSSEY an excellent listen from beginning to end.

	:: arjanwrites music blog ::: Interview with Fischerspooner
		Fischerspooner's music is a cocky blend of bleeps and blurbs with a pulsating electro beat, flat synth arrangements and heavy sampling that is reminiscent of '80s electronica and also finds roots in '70s tunes from Kraftwork and Africa Bambaataa.
		Fischerspooner became an underground sensation in New York as a visual performance group joined by an alternating line-up of dancers, singers, filmmakers along with wardrobe, lighting and set designers.
		Fischerspooner uses style as substance by merging spastic electro beats with extravagant costumes and asymmetric, pink haircuts.

	SPIN.com: Fischerspooner
		It's no surprise that the success of Fischerspooner, New York's best-known, most-loved nü-electro guerillas, may have more to do with the group's mythology than the actual music they produce.
		By their own admission, Fischerspooner is both an "art project" and a "pop band," though one can never be sure where one ends and the other begins.
		Of course, a striking digital-pop mirage like their hit single "Emerge," a damaged-disco statement-of-purpose that's part Cabaret Voltaire, part Aqua, easily restores Fischerspooner's Radio 1 rep, making them more multi-faceted--and more genuinely talented--than any pop-art project has a right to be in 2003.

		Feted in the style press, Fischerspooner became immediate cult superstars--and at the beginning of 2002, signed to Ministry Of Sound for a hefty sum.
		Fischerspooner is a decent neo-electro band, but nothing to really go wild about.
		Their second album, "#1", is a "decent" album that should satisfy fans of the genre and band, but no one else.

	Fischerspooner - Never Win - Video Streams
		Fischerspooner gear up for a quality summer - a new single, headlining the Astoria and the on going 6 week residency of Manumission, Ibiza.
		The shows over the next several months are about experimenting with new visual ideas, live music and sound design and letting the show evolve naturally the way our first show did by adding and changing things as we go".
		Fischerspooner’s new single is taken from the album ‘Odyssey’ which was perfectly described by the i-D as “a musical journey of classical proportions that sees them reborn, stronger, better and sleeker than before with some of the best pop melodies, crushing synths and orchestral perfection you’ll hear all year”.

	Fischerspooner: Odyssey: Pitchfork Record Review
		They've never managed to make anything as great as their first single, but then "Emerge" was such a dizzy, searing monster jam that it'd be hopeless to hold any group to that standard forever.
		Odyssey is Fischerspooner's attempt at kicking and screaming their way out of punchline hell, so it's a bit of a surprise how good everything sounds.
		It's something of a shock hearing the Boredoms' messy drum-circle monolith translated through Fischerspooner's glammy synths, but the group approaches the song with the majestic fervor it demands, and the result is a truly gorgeous pileup.

	Fischerspooner Decides It's Time To Get Serious (washingtonpost.com)
		A grandiloquent project started on an art-school lark, the electronic pop group is the duo of heady producer Warren Fischer and hammy frontman Casey Spooner, whose expertise lies in superficiality and spectacle.
		The whole phenomenon led to lots of buzz and a big-budget label deal that was almost surely inflated on both sides of the dotted line, for the story's sake.
		The second problem with hating Fischerspooner is that its music is actually quite good.

		Fischerspooner's glamour and filth-obsessed U.K. debut is here repackaged and reformatted for the American public.
		The New York neo-electro duo have found major label backing and now present the detached consumer with a glut of remixes, extra tracks, a DVD featuring videos, a documentary and live performances — all of which work as an immediate guide to the world as Fischerspooner have defined it.
		The thing is — Fischerspooner have actually brought life into this oft-mocked genre and made it seem like the most vital music in circulation.

		If New York-based electroclash duo Fischerspooner have their way, the video for "Never Young," the probable first single from their next album, will feature girls going wild.
		Even before their debut album, Fischerspooner built their reputation on Kabuki-theater style shows and videos that pair their driving, minimalist tunes with shocking visuals, color and costumes.
		But now Fischer says they are working on a collaboration that might be their most shocking pop art act yet: Novelist and critic Susan Sontag (The Volcano Lover) is interested in writing lyrics to one of their songs.
