Bouncy, sunny dancehouse synth pop from Ireland. Layered, catchy, and upbeat throughout, with stylishly emasculated tenor vox, prominent vocoder, and a frequently metallic timbre. Very similar feel throughout, though best when thickly layered. See also: Joy Electric, Fold Zandura, Cosmic Starfish, House of Wires, The Happies FCC clean. Picks: 1, 2,12,13,(5) *1. 2:39 - Whirring pop, great build. *2. 2:01 - Higher energy. Thick pop rock. 3. 2:23 - Bouncy melodic vamps. 4. 2:04 - Close and electronic. 5. 2:22 - Innocent, spacious pop, with thicker refrains. 6. 2:06 - Gentle anthem with distorted robot-rock refrains. 7. 3:37 - Soft acoustic opening to sweetly layered, childlike pop. False ending at 2:51. 8. 2:22 - Thick, soft-edged electropop with catchy mid/high energy refrains 9. 2:22 - Nintento bloop intro into rough, sometimes creaky synth pop 10. 2:35 - Lower energy twee ballad. Repetitive. 11. 2:00 - Higher energy vocoder rock ditty. *12. 2:16 - Earnest and roughly shimmering. Hints at '80s synth pop. Lyrics by Ash's Tim Wheeler. *13. 2:44 - Layered and synth-heavy. Synth vox trades off with lead for nice effect. 14. 3:27 - Sweetly glistening closer; builds anthemically. 19-sec outro. | ||
