PLMKR 042LP
|
Scottish producer Alex returns to Playmaker Media Records after his previous album X (PLMKR 032LP, 2018). After a few releases through New Retro Wave, he's becoming a household name in the alternative synth scene with his unique mix of dark synth and cyber pop. Simulations sees this artist on his most versatile synth-pop game, ever. He knows how to pick features with these beautiful, provocative, and sensual-sounding female vocalists, mixed with his signature driving dark electronic sound. Here, he succeeds yet again, this time with rapid-fire synths and dance beats that worm their way into the brain and get stuck there. Keeping it cyberpunk and dance-able, he tops himself once again. Let this album speak for itself, along with its amazing collaborators. Edition of 300 on 180 gram white vinyl, includes A3 poster of cover art.

Ireland's Bart Graft has released a healthy amount of great music. His signature sound of pastel-colored and retro-inspired synth music is stellar synth wave, from the top of the shelve. Along with bigger names in the genre such as Mitch Murder, Waveshaper, The Midnight, and others, he truly is holding up the genre's current producer flame high. Inspired by the works of Talking Heads, Laurie Anderson, Talk Talk, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Tear For Fears, The Ward Brothers, Peter Gabriel, Frank Zappa, INXS, and many more... Nostalgic synth stabs accompanied by pulsating guitar licks, energetic drums roll around yet a bunch of tracks are plain chill. This album is a trip to the rooftops of '80s and '90s culture. From the fast-paced rock track, to ambient vaporwave, the balance is just right, as Modern Life cements Bart Graft as a force to be reckoned with.

ALEX's X is a dark, haunting, and brooding synthwave record that sets the night on fire, taking you from darkness all the way to the shining lights of "Broadway". With hints of cyberpunk, outrun, and other '80s inspired retrowave influences, ALEX has developed a true signature sound that is funky, groovy, and totally rocking. X takes you on a futuristic, electronic music trip that's filled with nostalgia and suspense. Vocalist Laura Currie is featured on "Broadway". Cover Art by Maika Sozo. 180 gram vinyl.
