This
cassette is sold out, hence if you want to hear it in its intended format you’ll
have to buy it second hand or possibly wait for another pressing. In the mean time, you can at least stream
this one via the Powdered Heart Records link above and it might even be available
for download somewhere out there.
(There is a Soundcloud link on the above page link that might help you
out too)
What
begins with quiet singing, not with words but in a Bobby McFarren way, has
tones somewhere between piano and guitar.
It becomes quite melodic and then somehow compares to Smashing Pumpkins,
though I’m not entirely certain how it does it.
It has a MIDI vibe to it, but it also sounds like one of those albums
people make for babies (If you have a baby or do an internet search, you can
find a number of different bands presented in this way—I shit you not—and the
results are remarkable)
Pieces
of new wave party mixed with 8bit come out as well, which reminds me slightly
of Oingo Boingo beats. It could be
something from Field Hymns or “Eye of the Tiger” and even when the vocals and
drum machine come into play it still solidifies itself as being 8bit pop in my
mind.
Sometimes
this can sound like it’s covering a pop song and sometimes it’s between a
definitive synthwave and symphonic feel.
Either way, this is just an excellent piece of music that must sound
brilliant on cassette because even as a download I am loving it.
