Sister Mantos
Cool as shit dark electrodance, weirdness very much along the lines of early New Order, Cure, Depeche Mode, Human League. Fans of Glass Candy, Zola Jesus, Siouxsie and the Banshees would like. Veers from darkness to wry pop like Joy Division turning into New Order. And on super cool colored vinyl.
A:
1) dark synth, simple mid paced electroplod, very Human League with understated vocs
2) upbeat, near techno worldy feel, dancy almost, grows dark and betrays any happy shiny b.s. it may have implied at the start
3) dark, simple electro synth, slow overall but with double time bursts, very early New Order, Depeche Mode or the like
4) more dark synth, this one more beat oriented
B:
1) upbeat, dancey and much more cheerful than side A stuff blends seamlessly into next track
2) New Order’ish bassline driven, more innocent with boy-girl vocal tradeoffs, hit qualit
3) slow quiet synth, creepy
4) electrodancey, if dark
5) brief, creepy ambient sounds
