Poison City
SCREENSAVER - Three Lens Approach LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition silver colour vinyl.
Highly recommended.
Sonically, the band expand their range of synth sounds, adding classic Yamaha and Casio textures to their rich palette, carrying heavy lyrical themes with a driving high-energy rhythm. Tracks ‘Context is Everything’ and ‘Drip Feeding’ see screensaver deviate from traditional song structure, favouring instead a Kosmische-style stream of consciousness; production layered and lush complements of Julian Cue. ‘Upstream’ is immersive and animate, drenched with lush delays and reverb. The rhythm sections of James Beck and Dorian Vary are unrelenting against a beat heavy backbone throughout the album, particularly at their heaviest on ‘Soft Touch’ and ‘Executive Function.’
