Natalia/Printed Circuit/Freakenomics

Natalia Vodianova



My main memory of Natalia is from years ago when she was on the front cover of The Face Magazine, she had blonde short curly hair and was wearing a studded dog collar, the pictures inside depicted her as being about 9 ft tall from what I can recall.
She's from the same Russian town as another post on this blog, Anne V, and is one of numerous russians that have beseieged the modelling industry over the last few years.

Printed Circuit



Printed Circuit, AKA Claire Broadley of Leeds, England, makes retro electronic pop tracks that remind me of the film Electric Dreams from 1984, they feel like they have been lifted directly from the soundtrack (which featured the Human League and Giorgio Moroder) At least that’s how it is at it’s best, at it’s worst it sounds a little contrived, like Ladytron even.

Act robotic is pure synth pop though, short, sweet and unpretentious. It’s like being sung at by Edgar – the computer that takes on human characteristics in Electric Dreams - What it is definitely not though is a call to dance like Peter Crouch.
