Ping Pong

Anchoring their breakthrough album 'Mars Audiac Quintet', this release perfectly juxtaposes bubbly, retro-lounge pop arrangements with explicitly Marxist lyricism concerning economic cycles. The upbeat, driving rhythms and infectious brass sections mask Lætitia Sadier's deadpan critiques of capitalism and war. It remains one of the group's most recognizable, conceptually fascinating, and enduringly popular tracks.
