MEN

How does Le Tigre sound post Kathleen Hanna? The answer lies with MEN… the new duo made up of ex-Le Tigre bandmates JD Samson and Johanna Fateman. The sound isn’t much of a departure from This Island — MEN feels much like the next step rather than a different direction. I doubt either of these tracks will reach cult status like “Deceptacon” but they’re pretty easy to like, maybe even love — there’s potential for lots of play here…

“Shake Off” is actually my favorite of the two — it is perfect in that sing-a-long DIY pop way and it has potential for some killer remixes.
