As
much as I can remember cassingles I really don’t remember there ever being one
in this style which is as a split.
Oddly, it seems as if someone out there is either listening to me or at
least on the same wave length any way as ImpossibleColors is offering up a sort
of Cassingles Club, which should be most rad.
(Each split cassingle is only $2 with one coming out every month, but
yearly subscriptions are available for only $20 for a limited time)
While
I am familiar with Videotape I’ve never heard Impulsive Hearts before so this
is introducing me to new music and as a Cassingles Club of sorts it should be introducing
you to bands you’ve possibly never heard before. In a bit of “small world” connections,
the person who used to run Notes + Bolts Records is doing artwork for what
is officially called the Impossible Colors Club, not “Cassingles Club”, though
I feel like the word “cassingle” should be added in there.
“Salty”
is easily a radio hit single if I ever heard one, but since I don’t really care
about the radio anymore I don’t think it really belongs on there. From bands such as Fleetwood Mac and Blondie
right down to Nirvana and Bush, as well as the more popular comparison of Poe,
this song is really good even for Videotape who has always been an exceptional
band. It is dream pop at its finest
for sure.
This
is my first time hearing Impulsive Hearts and their sound is not too unlike
that of Videotape (meaning they don’t copy one another, but if you are a fan of
one, odds are you will be a fan of the other).
In an attempt to best place this in a genre it could be synthwave in the
sense that it is rather synth heavy and there are just constant waves of it
flowing throughout this other melodic song.
So
what is the first (I believe) in a series of cassingles from Impossible Colors
I must say is off to a most impressive start.
I’m not sure how they can top this, though I’m sure they’ll find some
way.
