  • A Post Mordern Life

    As smooth as silk, like good scotch in a glass, Swedish/Moroccan duo Funkservice International?s debut disc is a sultry, sexy, late night swing.

    Combining elements of jazz and soul in true lounge lizard fashion, A Post Modern Life is an interesting hybrid of styles. But despite the flowery vocal delivery of Adil Fadi ? breathy vocals with shades of Saint-Etienne ? and the toe-tapping beats, the album as a whole could fall flat as it has the potential to induce daydreaming. In limited bursts however, songs like ?ctive? and the instrumental ?Brown Sugar? leaves one feeling under the influence.

    In any event, Funkservice International would make for excellent background music at your next martini party.

  • Life and Flowers

    The result is a highly adaptable and evolving sound-one that Funkservice perfects on their second album Life and Flowers, due for release in spring of '06.
    Avoiding that smoky cool Parisian jazz sound that so many other fusion bands fall into, Life and Flowers is more chameleonic, masterfully blending flavours from Casablanca (Fadi's birthplace), Sweden and everything in between.
