Album Review
DJ Aporia
Reviewed 2016-08-29
Band from Seattle that describes itself as “neue-shoegaze”. Sometimes energetic, sometimes brooding synths, vocoder, and bleeps and bloops driven by heavy electronic progressions and occasional cute nonsensical vox. Heavily coated in reverb. The whole thing feels very off-kilter to me, like a more childlike, hyper-digital Pinkshinyultrablast or Mew. No FCCs.

1. (2:35) Cowboy and the Vocoder—Vocoder, distorted robotic vox, guitarless twee
2. (2:10) ** Nedan omloppsbana—Pensive aquatic sweeps of vocoder and synths
3. (1:06) ** Närmar snöblandat regn—Bubbling synths, fast beat, very very Mew. Play as a segue to the next track
4. (2:15) *** Delorean (Av död)—Picks up more heavily from previous track. Energetic bouncing off the walls, hip video game soundtrack
5. (6:16) *** Retrailing—Dreamy synth loops and ambient waves, bliss out
6. (4:15) ** Flytta hav av is—Bright tapping sounds and digital quirks, erratic
7. (5:39) ** Känner mig så låg—Punchy beat, several layers of jittery synths, bass, serious groove
8. (3:58) Nausicaä—Nonsensical vox, repetitive, eh
9. (6:48) *** Utan hjärta—Dark burbling bleeps and bloops, churning, spooky
10. (9:29) *** Bedövande en översvämning—Sounds like two decaying organs (the instrument) in conflict
11. (3:31) Hyorori—Twinkling, calm, subdued
12. (1:39) Se io m’accorgo—Splashy crashy interlude
13. (1:27) ** Ett vykort—Arpeggiated synths, sense of anticipation
