Error parents

BLACK TURTLENECK is Jason Amm from SOLVENT and Thomas Sinclair both hailing from Toronto, Canada. They bring us vocal electropop that they say is influenced by the likes of early Depeche Mode, The Human League and Soft Cell, in the end imagine SOLVENT’s music with a vocal performance similar maybe to that of the German futurepop project Neuroticfish. Expect pure analogue synth sound here with lots of analogue drum machine sounds. Many outstanding tracks here, e.g. “Discontinued Parts” is just beautiful with great catchy vocal lines, and sparse bright synth parts towards the end - sparseness is the key here anyway, some may wanna call it minimalism - or the instrumental title track “Musical Chairs”, or “Mall Song” that ‘behaves’ like some late 70’s/early 80’s British tune. All in all, a great minimalistic retro electropop album that’s maybe more easily accessible for those who miss a vocal performance on some Lowfish or early Solvent music.
