Doom-laden darkwave from Austin, TX. Sensuous, dread-filled pop encrusted with huge, otherworldly synths and distorted, grinding bass roar, rumbling across crawling drum machines and washes of glacial Carpenterian electronics, gorgeously gloomy synth-pop hooks gleaming in the dimly lit corners of "Graphic", as Amber Goers' soulful, utterly bewitching vocals once again haunt Troller's tenebrous depths.
Songs like 'Not Here', 'Torch' and 'Storm Maker' shimmer with a malevolent majesty, while elsewhere the album slips into nightmarish electronic ambience and stunning expanses of black kosmische bliss. There are surges of corrosive sound throughout "Graphic" that materialize in dense feedback and jagged chords that are juxtaposed with the album's more beautiful passages.
Combined with their penchant for provocative imagery and apocalyptic undercurrents, this produces something far bleaker and more unsettling than anything else we're hearing in the realm of dark synth-pop right now. Digipak.
