Pink + Black is the debut EP from Albuquerque’s Lindy Vision. The sister trio is made up of lead vocalist/synth player Dorothy Cuylear, lead guitarist Natasha Cuylear, and drummer/beat maker Carla Cuylear. In 2012, the band went under a name change from Black Natives to Lindy Vision. The trio’s music is catchy, synthesizer-driven post-punk with great vocal work. Most of the songs share similar instrumentation, particularly the mid-tempo electronic beat found in a lot of early 1980s synth pop music. If the trio speeds up the beat in future recordings, their sound will expand into interesting territories. Two strengths found in Pink + Black are the lyrics and singer Dorothy Cuylear. In a way, both elements link Lindy Vision to legendary female fronted acts like Le Tigre or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which with their characteristic raw personal lyrics and a charismatic singer, carved their own identity. A promising debut nonetheless. RIYL: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pow!, Le Tigre, Lene Lovich, Grimes, and, Y Pants. FCC WARNINGS: 1 Recommended Tracks: 1 [FCC], 4 , & 5 1. (3:34) *Gone Away – FCC (fuck). Great intro with catchy riffs, nice vocals, and a continuous dancy beat. 2. (3:49) Bad Things – A nice companion to the previous track. Cool guitars. 3. (3:16) I’ll Follow You – Another guitar/synth driven track. 4. (3:15) *Pistol Fight – Dense downbeat track with strange lyrics. 5. (3:50) **Pink & Black – Lindy Vision most polished track. Totally playable. | ||
