American electroclash band, Le Tigre, recently blogged up a storm about working with Christina Aguilera on her forthcoming album, Bionic. The feminist band stressed about recreating “Deceptacon” for Aguilera:

At first we were tormented by the goal of writing “another Deceptacon” for her, wondering how to crack the code to its energy and production style (“shit, do we have to find an HR16-B on eBay and synch-up a fast beat with a warped guitar sample on an antique Mirage?!”) plus we wanted to write melodies that would showcase Christina’s incredible voice. The pressure was on! But we quickly realized that we just had to be ourselves and put our hearts into pulling together our best demos to play for her.

Le Tigre didn’t stop there, they continued to be in an amazed state at Aguilera’s vocals:

“She is a technical virtuoso behind the mic, layering take after take of flawless vocals and coming up with variations, ad-libs, and harmonies on the fly. And while her voice is like a force of nature, she is completely disciplined in her approach to recording and realizing her vision for each track.”

Later on in the blog post, Le Tigre finally got down to business and spoke about the sound they developed with Aguilera:

“Together we tailored themes and specific references to her personality and image but found a ton of common ground in our aim to make upbeat danceable tracks celebrating female friendship, strength, and of course, PARTYING. And while the giant sound of her stacked vocals and the pop sheen she lends to the tracks might seem at odds with Le Tigre’s aesthetic roots, it really works. The songs have a lot of elements we’re known for, like a garage guitar sound, schoolyard chants, new wave-y synths, electro beats…”

Once again, another piece of info that makes us go crazy in anticipation for this new album. But there has been more buzz in the internet world with three coded videos that seem way left of mainstream. The unconfirmed verdict is that these videos are of Christina Aguilera. Well if it is, she seems to be winning over the hipster crowd, for sure.
