Vi/deo

Big synth beats and airy soprano vox from the heavily produced electro duo Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride. This, their 7th album, is truly an artifact of the pandemic. It takes on tech and isolation, makes you feel like you're the main character in the video game of your life, and most tracks are minor key.

1. (4:43) upbeat fem vox with industrial chugging beat and ominous punctuated synth. fast
2. (4:02) minor key hard beat. Casio keyboard wobbles and silly '80s keyboard strings. mid-fast

4. (4:29) dreamy ode to colors on the television. mid-fast
5. (4:25) and now an ode to the TV. hammer pounding beat and warm synth staccato, like a marimba. finally a vocal duet! fast
6. (4:08) trance-dance feel. ethereal electro fuzz and soft fem vox. fast
7. (3:32) airy lament to the movie star. '90s *NSYNC-style cuts at the chorus. mid-tempo
8. (4:25) a lamenting, breathing jam, with fem vox and staccato beat and keys. commenter phelanka on Bandcamp captured it perfectly: "If 'Raingarden' isn't played at my funeral I AIN'T GOIN!" mid-fast
