Hanin Elias
No Games, No Fun
Fatal

Another solo album from the girl singer formerly of Atari Teenage Riot. This reminds me of Le Tigre, but is actually a lot better. The production and beats have an amateurish hip-hop feel. But it’s ok. The production and arrangement ideas are actually all over the place. Good work. Plus there’s a great picture of Hanin and the very creepy looking J Mascis inside. You can’t lose with a creep like that on your team.

Did she record the song with J @ Bobs Place (rip ), I remember having something on this site about Hanin visiting J’s studio to record a track with him, of course I can’t find it right now …

Creepy looking Gotta love AMG’s description of J playing on the disc…"J Mascis, arguably the most exciting contributor to the album, helps out on the title track with washes of poppy fuzz punk" :aliensmile:

AMG REVIEW: No Games No Fun, the second solo album from Hanin Elias, singer and founding member of Atari Teenage Riot, is a powerful mix of industrial beats, crunchy, attacking synth lines, and Elias’ alternately sultry and aggressive vocals. On "Catpeople," Elias sounds a bit like Kathleen Hanna, making Elias’ solo work sort of a dark, foreboding, and distinctly European companion to Hanna’s Le Tigre. It’s fitting since Fatal Recordings was founded "to break up the fixed structures of the male-dominated music business." The highlights of No Games No Fun come in the form of the interesting collaborations, from the new wave-y pop of the C.H.I.F.F.R.E. and Elias compositions to her noisy, clamorous work with Einstürzende Neubauten’s Alexander Hacke ("Spirits in the Sky"). The flashy Euro-hip-hop piece with Alec Empire ("You Suck") is both groovy and kitschy (if a little one-note), but it’s the noise collage, "Rockets Against Stones," with Merzbow that is truly groundbreaking. J Mascis, arguably the most exciting contributor to the album, helps out on the title track with washes of poppy fuzz punk. In the end, Elias’ work may not be for everyone, but No Games No Fun is essential listening for fans of Atari Teenage Riot’s post-industrial electro-hardcore.

hey Leah, interesting news, indeed
thanks a lot for sharing!

Should be interesting to listen to that album – and I’d also like to see that "creepy pic" of J on the cover … so it looks like I’ll buy it
It’s out on March 7th, at least in Germany.

The new solo record of Hanin Elias just arrived in the mail, and I’m listening to it now

Although it’s not really the kind of music I’m usually listening to, all I can say that it’s not bad at all. Many electronic effects, and the female vocals are, hm, spheric (when she’s not shouting or screaming) but there are also cool guitar/drum sounds there, and all in all it sounds rough & polished at the same time.

The title track "No Games No Fun", to which J Mascis contributed some parts (guitar, drums & parts of the compostion), is a song that sounds almost like a punk song, but heavily electronic, too :aliensmile:

Well, keeping track of what J is doing musically can be a surprising experience
