Plunderphonics, with some hyperpop blended in. Sounds like an amalgamation of corporate jingles and advertisement, in a good way. Their debut album Since I left you was a banger and this gives a closer feels to that than their other recent ones.
My favourite is probably Every single weekend. The music video is very vaporwave-y.
I’m just blown away by this record. I’ve always loved those sincere and talented Aussie geniuses but this is something really unexpected and fresh! They’re continuing that new thread of committed concept they discovered with their last record five years ago, but this is the first time they’ve really adopted the sound of an existing scene, so I was a little worried this would be a record of pastiched hyperpop with an Avalanches twist and nothing more.
Yet, I was so surprised by how no other album sounds like this! For such a dense and maximalist record, they show fab restraint… songs lean towards an ABCDEF structure (when long enough to have more than one section!) and often manage to have a very careful sparseness to them, adopting a particular sound and deliberately omitting a core element to feel like the underside of the song they emulate, which really ties into the thematic drive of the record well. And that ending! So poignant, unlike anything they’ve done before.
Oh, and Side C is one of the best sides of new music I’ve heard in the past few years… Cracking!
