Before hitting my teens I used to listen to almost exclusively Jean Michel Jarre's music (and before that Italian schlagers). My introduction to Kavinsky's music came about when I wanted to update my contempt for hipsters' music taste by looking up what kinda music is behind all these weird band (or "band") names I've never even heard that tour these hispter-only music festivals. When I hit Kavinsky's - you guessed it - Nightcall I had to stop. "Hmmm.. there must be at least one person in charge of booking bands that recognizes what good music stands for." It took me a while to actually listen this album all the way through, since on a quick glance it seemed to be a one-off fluke with no way of knowing how much of Nightcall was written by a fellow musician. After taking the plunge I must say I like a lot what this guy is doing. Apart from "Suburbia" this really is a great album. If that makes me a hipster, then so be it: I don't mind one bit."[+]Reply

Half the songs sung and written by Dave who quips lines of socioeconomic fury in dry abrasive male vocals similar to John Lyndon of PiL, the other half written by Margaret with her half-ethereal wanderings. The result is a unique and highly inspired yet disorienting patchwork, alternating claustrophobia and hypnosis, that depicts post-modern über-urban plights and plunders. An album to keep far from the meek of ear, but whose multi-layered production (thanks to Guy Fixen) continues to reveal new treasures even after dozens of listens. "[+]Reply

I've never been a massive fan of Moufang's stuff, and I certainly had no idea who Benjamin Brunn was at the time. The artwork looks like a bad Four Tet album cover, re-imagined through the eyes of the author of Elmer the Patchwork Elephant. The album title reminds me of that David Sylvian album. I hate bees (not as much as I hate wasps, but they still make me uneasy). I don't care what genre this is. Minimal tech? Maybe. Minimal house? Warmer. Deep house? Perhaps. Dub techno? Not a bad shout. To me, it's a strange mix of all of those things, a warm, fluffy pillow of ambient synth washes atop which sit all your classic deep house elements, taken apart and put back together again to form something more slight, more beautiful, little rumbles of dubby bass here, some whispered, echoing drums pitter-pattering like an April shower on a tin roof. The way it manages to sound so planned, so measured, and yet so spontaneous. This music sounds like the crazy ketamine dreams after a night at the club, except far friendlier, memories of banging beats coming back, tossing and turning to the rhythm of the night. Some acid synth lines come pounding through like Polygon Window minus the sense of early '90s paranoia, feeling sunnier, less weighty, but still as likely to get you on your feet. And then, of course, they dissipate as quickly as they arrived, sinking back into more oceanic synth washes and April shower drums. Keyboard stabs bounce from wall to wall, energetic but never aggressive, like an old friend whose presence at the party puts everybody else at ease. A minimal, dubby deconstruction of deep house? Yes please. "[+]Reply
"Kinda disappointing set list, plus songs like Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand are already filled with long guitar solos, no need for a 16 min version. That being said it's still NY and CH so can't complain too much."Reply

It is also a concept album that Natasha plans to eventually direct into a full length movie. Plot wise it’s something like this: Nikki Pink makes a reappearance and this time she is living in a dystopian world that is being troubled by female motorcycle riding vampires AKA The Lost Girls, Nikki sets out to get to the bottom of things joining up with a male protagonist and together they fall in love before Nikki is kidnapped by said Vampires and ( I think) becomes a vampire herself
For me the clear stand out track is an instrumental called “Vampires” which sounds like it was lifted straight off The Cures “Pornography “ with that trademark deep base and mood sounds
Having said all that I must confess this retro 80’s sound isn’t really in my wheel house but man I admire her passion and creative spirit . Can’t wait to watch the movie when it eventually drops "[+]Reply
