CD: Rainbow Arabia - Boys and Diamonds

Cologne label Kompakt has been home to a plethora of very fine electronic dance music over the last decade. They also occasionally develop acts, as in proper bands rather than professorial Teutonic sorts standing behind laptops with intense, funereal expressions, pale-lit by console glow. Los Angeles couple Danny and Tiffany Preston don't look professorial. In the only publicity shots I've seen they traipse through the desert dressed in Arab garb, carrying synthesisers and machine guns. It's a good look and bodes well.
