The ‘numbing qualities’ of modern work culture, the feelings of disconnection and isolation we all seem to share, of something vital being stripped away from our very existence, all feeds into the intriguing balancing of humanity and robotic, industrial sounds that make up Nervous Systems the album.
Synthpop
Something initially a little dreamy, calm yet fully-loaded with subtle detail – synths, light rhythms, keys, breathy vocals. Later on we’re confronted by a boldly energising peak. Montana duo BLVDS blend poetic pop songwriting with the rising energy and escapism of electronic dance and pop-punk, for their gentle to anthemic single Two Sides.
Munatix strike as the sort of thoughtful songwriters that connect for their humanity & honesty. They also impress with their musical creativity & production skills, offering an arrangement that can easily be enjoyed with or without a comprehension of the lyrics.
