Michæl Augustine has created a supremely compelling audio journey with this release.
Synth Pop
Leading with emotive songwriting and a subtle eighties influence throughout, Land’s new EP Down By This River effectively introduces a band with a uniquely expressive lyrical and vocal backbone.
Songwriter of one of the most addictive alternative pop songs of 2020, Christopher Dallman returns with his industrial rhythms and synth-soaked vocals for another beauty.
Industrial rhythms and hypnotic loops create a heavily eighties-influenced, dramatic yet energizing vibe for this fresh single from Washington’s Aspect Ratio.
Sometimes it’s the seemingly simple songs that take you to the most complex of places. Time Of My Life is a perfect example.
This album manages to be conceptually heavy at the same time as being delightfully carefree. In a nutshell, it encapsulates a mindset that we could all use a little help adopting in times like these.
“I’m totally fascinated by the groundbreaking influence of Analog Synthesizers and how that completely changed the music scene and listening habits of people.”
Undoubtedly one of indie music’s best kept secrets. Escapism in its most pure and uninhibited state.
A softly artistic, interesting and enjoyable song, from an EP that hopefully marks the start of an artist career well worth tuning in for.
A master of sound design, composition and songwriting alike, Hideotronic is up there with the best of them – the creative producers, the artists, the writers with something authentic to say; and refreshing ways of saying it.
“Expect that some people may hate what you’re doing, but do it anyway! Criticism is inevitable and some people allow the opinions of others to destroy them.”
In a strange way, the 80s style takes something of a back-seat as the songwriting and the general mood overwhelm. For all of these reasons, Android really leaves its mark.
