10/19/23: Dark thrills This Brazilian duo has the whole post-punk/krautrock/coldwave thing down cold. Many of these songs sound like Kraftwerk playing Joy Division songs, though Tatiana Meyer's spoken-sung vocals add a unique twist. The beat is insistent but not driving, and the synths are spare and cutting.
Total fun. I flashed back, and then the music brought me back to the future quite naturally. I haven't heard this sound done with such expert precision and creativity in ages. My heart can't stop racing. Now, if these styles are not in your wheelhouse, I suppose it might be possible to be at sea listening to this. But children of the dark 80s will find a playground full of spectacular delights. Each song feels more addictive than the last. Wondrous.
