Er is een nieuwe plaat uit op Narrominded, een label dat ik mede beheer, en het is er wel een die hier de moeite van het melden waard is.
Heat is the new LP from Holland’s Hunter Complex, a record that looks to balance a functional (and very Dutch) ‘utility pop’ with a whole host of disturbing hints and suggestions. It’s a slightly unnerving listen, despite its attractive and powerful sweeps of melody. Heat manages – often very successfully – to persuade the listener that they’re tuning into a strange mix of Moroder’s film scores and ‘81-‘82 era Simple Minds. Digital synths, like the Roland D-50 and Yamaha DX7, give everything a suitably ‘period feel’. And the keys on Space are straight off Sons and Fascination, for example. Severed Heads covering China Crisis? Chris and Cosey making symphonic advert music in downtown LA? We can but dream.
Je kunt de hele plaat hier luisteren: http://huntercomplex.bandcamp.com/album/heat
Of op VPRO's luisterpaal: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/albums/hunter-complex.html
En je kunt 'm hier ook kopen op zwart of transparant oranje vinyl.
Ben benieuwd wat jullie ervan vinden!
