Description
Medical Records presents it's second contemporary artist release with Roladex. Imagine Kraftwerk playing Steven Merritt songs. Using an arsenal of analog instruments, Roladex nostalgically borrows ideas from music of the past to carefully craft a unique brand of futuristic-mechanized pop, with an emphasis on songwriting and layered production. Weaving sparse, sequenced arpeggios into fuzzy bass and bubbly melodies to create a bed of sound where they layout a somehow bright melancholia. Part minimal synth-wave, part dream pop, Roladex fits nicely with other non-traditional pop acts such as Ariel Pink as well as Synth contemporaries like Police Des Moeurs and Black Marble. The opening track "Anthem For The Micro-Age" sets the tone with dreamy atmospheric synth textures and interwoven male and female vocals. "Love Surgery" is chock full of pop hooks and synth leads interspersed with angular guitar accents. "Empty Streets" has an almost minimal John Bender bedroom aesthetic. Fans of early Wire [ esp 154 ], Drinking Electricity, Fad Gadget and even noisy 90s shoegaze are sure to enjoy.
