Danceable pop with '80s synths but also tasteful indie rock guitars and real drums. Cohen puts forth a BIG sound, creating catchy and highly marketable melodies with a strong, soaring feel -- you can just visualize the crane-shot video to go with tracks like 5 or 8. Solid female vocals, tight harmonies, catchy melodies everywhere. Maybe it's a bit heavyhanded, but it's plenty likeable. You might have heard her before, with bands like The Vels, Die Monster Die, and Espadrille. 1- Peppy and fast, going for a bit of dark mystery 2- Devo-like synth bounce, light jazz guitar later 3- Strong sweeping feel, jangly guitars 4- Indie pop guitar strums, stiff delivery. 5- High energy space ride. Growly synth, echoey rambling vocal, lots of little sci-fi sounds. 6- Stern, serious. Snappy chorus, spaceout guitar ending 7- Quickly catchy, w/fuzzed out guitars. 8- Guitars, twangy at first, then dark and rocking. Big grand commercial sound 9- Total '80s dancefloor. Poppy, with appropriate nearly-goth drama 10- Fast rolling tempo, insistent guitar riffing | ||
