DXM formed in 1993 by Sean Owen and Josh Knowles, high school sophomores interested in the same synth-pop and becoming interested in the newer forms of electronica they were discovering at the time. In '96, Sean headed for Harvard (to major in computer science) while Josh stayed in Austin to attend UT. Each continue to create independently and collaborate as DXM.

On this latest album, the French trio has once again evolved their sound, this time into a more song-based and pop realm, while still maintaining their taste for playful and quirky electronic excursions. The eleven tracks on 'Wow Twist' possess a new knack for perversely catchy hooks, and this joyous digital pop is often accompanied by the vocals of band-members Claude and Gaëtan whose lyrics ble...
