Operators, The

Twisted art rock feel, like something David Byrne dreamed up in 1979 but couldn’t materialize at the time. Playful synths, subtley treated vocals. Bouncy feel in places smack of 80’s synth rock but this is more like art prog meets low fi new wave with strong bass presence. Cool undefined stuff tough to compare to anything else besides probably something Bowie, Fripp or Byrne concocted, Andy Summers maybe.

1) (3:27) angular post-punk art rock feel for sure 2)* (3:13) slower arty feel, dark and weird 3) (3:33) strange chill pop feel 4)* (3:00) trippy intro, bubbling blippy, then a slightly mathy funky rhythmic piece 5) (4:21) very trippy slow atmospheric strangeness, midway it breaks into an upbeat section, goes back and forth to the echoey bass stuff 6) (3:28) angular mathy poppy radio friendly 7) (4:24) slow Casio type drum machine plod 8)* (3:52) upbeat, another radio friendly pop oriented strange piece
