"I stumbled across this release while browsing around one day, noticing the interesting and minimalistic cover art. I wondered what kind of music was behind that picture so I clicked on it. I never even heard of the band (and still don't know much about them), but was immediately impressed, and purchased the download right away. The band seems very good at processing good music from the past 25 years and making something all their own. You will hear bits of 80's new wave, UK big beat, shoegaze, chiptune (essentially 8-bit and 16-bit videogame music), and plain old pop. It's fun picking apart the pieces and figuring out their influences (for a moment, I even heard some Black Sabbath!) They are apparently influenced a lot by UK music, so I was surprised to find out these guys are from Brooklyn. If you like My Bloody Valentine, The Postal Service, Jesus & Mary Chain, or others of that dreamy, rockin', synth ilk, I'm sure you'll enjoy this album and listen to it everyday, as I have.



Plus, for the month of February, the mp3 version is just $5. It's not much to fork over, and you're still supporting the artist. Don't steal music!"
