Review

The mixture of smart music and animation brought Fredo Viola YouTube fame but this former choirboy soprano has a go at minimal cabaret with the same ease. Sometimes he seems to get stuck in his own cleverness, but this EP has a great title track plus a sharp and funky mix by Fink of title track of his debut album, 'The Turn'. Viola flirts with avant-garde, but not always very convincingly. Ah, well, it's only a download EP. Rather sophisticated however.

1 Red States (Pilooski Edit)
2 Red States (Radio Edit)
3 Red States (Bonetrips From Les Gourmets Edit)
4 Red States (The Agency Edit)
