A Big One

Fucking cool! Locally recorded, produced (local band?), fuzzy urgent vocs, guits and dirty analog synths give this an, um, (sorry to use the word) electroclash feel. But yet again, this is GREAT stuff (else it wouldn’t be on the a-file now would it?). Great use of autoplay mode on the synth, great guit playing, angular beats, no wave, cool vocs, creepy dark 80’s flare (ancient Faith era Cure?) but not retro at all. Noisy enough to make even this choosy mutha choose it. Play with Glass Candy, Shesus, Lost Sounds, Numbers.

1) driving, urgent, minor spooky feel
2) skippy angular pogo’ish beat
3) more swirly and dense, fucking cool
4) decidedly no wave, new wave feel, chorus riff reminds me of an old Joy Division song
5) brief noise intro, echoey space rock follows, cool
6) old cure feel in intro, turns heavy beat dark gothish
7) this has “hit” written on it, angular no wave electroclash, great
8) urgent dark synth feel, new wave no wave
