Well, the least you can say about the singer of this nice symphonic synthi-pop band is that he dares to search for the edges of possibilities.

I think so too...just found this two days ago and just bought the cd...reminds me a bit of Future Bible Heroes, The Postal Service, Stubborn Heart, or maybe even Frazier Chorus. In that realm I think...nice synth-pop stuff...w strings and catchy hooks thrown in for good measure.

When i have time i must check them out. Frazier Chorus's Sue would be one of my all time favourite albums. :-) So any thing which sounds like them should be good. Thanks for the pointer.

Don't even know Frazier Chorus :oops: Well, I guess when I'll pick up my 4AD-book again and continue reading in it, I will "meet" them somewhere. In some way I just collected music from that label in the 80's, so almost everything after that didn't reach my radar. Funny thing is that I did listen to some of the Bella Union-releases instead.

Hé, another jazz-rock lover over here. Yeah, this is a great new album from Dewa, featuring Vinnie Colaiuta and Jimmy Johnson, plus some great guest-performances from Gary Husband (on keys) and Michael Landau.

Thanks for the Frazier Chorus-links. Reminds me of early China Crisis and Big Dish.
