The Death Set - Michel Poiccard

Michel Poiccard

The Death Set released their second LP titled "Michel Poiccard" on March 15, 2011 again on Counter Records / Ninja Tune. Produced by XXXChange and including collaborations with Diplo and Spankrock. BBC describes Michel Poiccard as "full-tilt, power-pop catharsis, ecstatic blaze-of-glory euphoria and notes of blissed-out poignancy... Producer XXXChange has helped broaden the band's range from tin pot to wide screen". The album mixes influences of early punk with hip-hop and electronic elements often compared to early Beastie Boys marked with their own distinctive adrenaline twin guitar driven dynamic. Baltimore City Paper describes Michel Poiccard as "the best thing the Death Set's ever done". The album was praised by many critics and included in their best of 2011 album lists.
