Electroclash got a ton of press and then triggered a seismic backlash before anyone quite figured what, exactly, the term might mean."Emerge" won the duo a reportedly huge contract from the British label Ministry of Sound and a veritable avalanche of hype, the sort of hype that can color a band for life. With their one big anthem and their self-consciously theatrical (and lip-sync-happy) live shows, Fischerspooner basically had fad written all over them.So it's interesting, eight years later, to see that Fischerspooner have evolved into the long-running art project they sort of always were. They work slowly, notching up only three albums after a decade of existence, and they do things at their own pace, as their budgets and day-jobs will allow. They've broken with Capitol, the label that released their sophomore album Odyssey. And on May 5, they'll self-release their third album, Entertainment, on their own FS Studios label, which originally released the group's first album. Recently, Warren Fischer, the beat-centric, Chris Lowe half of the group (Casey Spooner is the showy frontman), talked to Pitchfork about what has been going on in the Fischerspooner world over the past four years.Entertainment album cover:read more
