Having made a splash with 2001's electro-clash landmark Kittenz and Thee Glitz, Felix Da Housecat, aka Felix Stallings Jr, dives even deeper on Devin Dazzle. Glitz was a huge record for Stallings, accidentally colliding with the dance world zeitgeist. Dazzle may not hit as big, barring a similar confluence of sound and fashion. But Da Housecat knows what he's after here, and the man totally nails it. Turntables are mostly dumped in favor of warm synths, unearthing a new wave sound seasoned with funk and cheeky, Thrill Kill Kult-style sleaze. Equal parts Gary Numan, pansexual glam, and Art of Noise-like unpredictability (a sample of "Close (to the Edit)" even pops up on the fabulous "Watching Cars Go By"), Dazzle is generous with hooks, cheese-flavored melodies, and plain old thump. Children of the 80s may find themselves surprised by how strongly they respond to the title track and "Ready 2 Wear," two massively appealing songs among many on this deceptively sweet and young-at-heart album. –Matthew Cooke
