Song(s) of the Day # 3,030 Modal Melodies

 


Australian duo release eponymous old school Synth record. Austere, pulse. With plenty of the rather po faced approach of British bands of the early Eighties. OMD, Ultravox, Depeche Mode and the like come to mind but the glassy female vocals make this somewhat more likeable.

It's the replicant vocals that make this work. There are echoes of Trish Keenan here and that always works for me. They keep straight faces here. You know what you're getting after a couple of tracks and it flows like a high speed train on rails.

  1. I like that. Thanks Bruce! Have you heard the Astrel K album? It's a solo project from Rhys Edwards of Ulrika Spacek. I rather like it.

    2. Yes Darren. Definitely liked that. Will listen again a couple more times then write a review. There's another new single from Green/Blue you might like. Can't find a YouTube link.
