From the plaster lights of Aaron Levin:
Categorical mellow-burner worth it for the aptly-named nine-minute arpeggiating shredder “Trans Desert.” Steady synth tones weave through the heavy drum machines to deliver an italo banger dripping in sleepless sex-talk. Julie’s strangely French-accented sexual whispers are uncomfortably addictive and work in tandem with the disco-desert theme to hasten the untimely arrival of our fluorescent future. Limited to 50 copies. Grip. - Weird Canada

Soft Metals cohorts Gold Zebra have done a pretty decent lap of the internets with Love, French, Better but we thought we’d do our best Marty McFly impression and hang on to the bumper of this passing bandwagon.

One of the nice things about posting things on 20JFG before they’ve had a chance to be contextualised by our blogging brethren is the opportunity to live for a moment in a world not already described, demarcated and categorised by others. We like the alchemical properties of music, especially its ability to construct functioning universes between our ears. Love, French, Better does an awfully good job of conjuring up that alluring bleakness that makes a pensive moment gazing out into the blue pre-dawn world from a concrete doorway feel like the most exciting thing in the world. Perhaps it’s a testament to the solidity of the world that any colonisation is immaterial. It still feels reassuringly lonely in here.

A minimal synth throb dominates this but replaces our beloved ‘Italians’ disco genesis with a colder wavier one. There was always something panoramic in that echoing guitar, so beloved of late 90s post-rock that seems so lonely, exposed and vast — here it slides in and around Julie’s deadpan chanteuse.

Gold Zebra stuck this up on their Bandcamp for free at the start of July although it’s available below for your convenience. The 7? is forthcoming on Visage Musique, which’ll be nice. - 20jazzfunkgreats

We’ve been enjoying these brand new icy late-night synth jams from Portland’s Soft Metals (from the same scene that birthed Honey Owens‘ psych-house side-project Miracles Club) + Montreal’s Gold Zebra. Dark and sexy retro-futuristic Italo-disco created on vintage analog synths and drum machines; both songs highly recommended for those growing impatient for new material from the Glass Candy/Chromatics crew - GORILLA VS. BEAR
