Power Glove's kick ass tagline for their electro noir doom synth is just excellent: Armed with only two POWERGLOVES, we are two lawyers sent back from the streets of future, post apocalyptic Los Angeles 2043. With a touch of romance and a ton of trouble, we're gonna get there...any way we can. They've been working on some new tracks. Check it out!
With musical influences listed as Vangelis, John Carpenter and Tears For Fears you might guess where this is going.. dark super retro-future tech noir synthesiser night music, another great to add to the growing list along with the likes of Gatekeeper, Noir Deco, Power Glove, Lazerhawk, 80s Stallone, White Car, or Valis. Perturbator is from Paris and has three releases out so far, an EP titled Night Driving Avenger, an album called Terror 404 and a bunch of early works and bonus tracks, available here. Those links all take you to free downloads!
Total 80's Tech Noir in the same vein as artists as Gatekeeper, 80's Stallone, Power Glove, Lazerhawk and of course classic John Carpenter. The band are called Noir Deco and they come from Newcastle! Their approach is, at points, more soundscapey than than sweaty club thrusting of someone like Power Glove but they still totally slay. This is really dark, hard and totally awesome. Plus they have a whole album (called Future To Fantasy) up for free download from Playmaker Bandcamp.
"I think of the days we were gods and goddesses, playing ball with planets. We were larger than dinosaurs. But now we sit like good girls and boys and watch the small tennis ball going left and right, forgetting the days when we use to play with bigger balls. What happens when we shrink even further, and become the size of cockroaches? Will we be still playing with something that echoes the time when we were larger?" *Yoko Ono Lazerhawk produces the kind of synth pounding 80s tinged electro stompers popularized by bands such as the immortal Gatekeeper. Power keys and Italio influence at the ready Lazerhawk creates the kind of manic menace John Carpenter would have created if he'd had to direct the new Tron film but like back in 1983. An album is coming soon so keep a twitching replicant eye open for it! For similar sonic affiliates see 80s Stallone, Power Glove and White Car.
With an opening statement that positions this band as "Armed with only two POWERGLOVES, we are two lawyers sent back from the streets of future, post apocalyptic Los Angeles 2043" You know this going to be AWESOME!
So like you know this is going to sound exactly like what that statement implies. This is 80s style synth future madness akin to bands like 80s Stallone or Gatekeeper. It's pounding, muscle flexing synth riffs bounce you along like Night Rider on bubble, faster faster, more posing, quick lets take off our linen suit jackets and dive in the pool, I love your hair gel quick lets release a motivational dance aerobics video.
