Electronic Idiot Country

Electronic - Electronic (1991) [2CD Special Edition 2013] Music

Posted by gribovar at Oct. 18, 2023

Both more and less than what a partnership of Sumner and Marr would promise, Electronic's debut has weathered time much better than might have been thought upon its release, but ultimately only half works. When it does, though, it's fantastic, sometimes shifting from okay to fantastic within the same song. Opening number "Idiot Country" is a bit like that - the beginning sounds a little too rushed, Marr's heavy wah-wah riff OK enough but Sumner's semi-rap/semi-sung vocals a bit ham-handed. By the time the full combination of gentle keyboards, crisp rhythms, and the gentle, reflective chorus comes to bear, though, everything feels just great. Perhaps understandably Electronic leans much more toward New Order than the Smiths - Marr had already proven his desire to work in dance-crossover since his previous band's breakup, while Sumner's immediately recognizable, melancholic vocals call to mind New Order's rich history…

Damien Verrett’s latest effort as So Much Light is a true wonder of indie synth-pop. Filtering mainstream pop through his unique instrumentation and imagination, he makes something worthy of top 40 play but so much more at the same time. While it does run into a few eccentric fall backs and stumbling moments, the clever sound and overall delivery will have you excited for his follow up and future collaborations.

Amy Shark - Love Monster (2018) Music

Posted by Domestos at July 25, 2018

“For so long, I didn’t have to talk about my music because I didn’t have anyone listening,” Australian pop sensation Amy Shark tells Apple Music, “so I was just using it for therapy.” That changed when the 2016 single “Adore” went triple-platinum in her home country, paving the way for a debut album featuring collaborations with Jack Antonoff and one of her heroes, blink-182’s Mark Hoppus. Working with such big names only made her feel more comfortable with herself and with presenting soul-baring material. “The biggest lesson was to just be confident and voice your opinion,” she says of co-writing the blissful “All Loved Up” with Antonoff. With that confidence came honesty, openness, and a sound—and story—that is definitively her own, but relatable to anyone. “I think that’s why people like it,” she says. “They need it.”
