Someone bought a ticket to London, 1985. The Montreal duo walked into Human League’s studio and downloaded Philip Oakley’s soul into Garage Band. Infectious synth-pop of the highest retro variety. While many throw-back groups suffer from sounding stale and “modern,” I get a complete vintage vibe from this band that goes beyond audio and into the writing, phrasing, and sexualizing. I have on idea what they sound like live, but the 12-song CDR released in late-2008 is a pop sensation. Sean Nicholas Savage sings on a few songs.

Legend has it Sean once performed naked, painted entirely blue to a room full of underage women. I say legend because it’s so damn fitting. Cementing himself on the CJSR Top 30 for almost 5 months (spending two months at number one), it was no doubt that his perfect DIY pop effort resonated with all; young and old; naked and clothed; 16 year-old high-school girl and 27 year-old burn-out Music Director. The 8-song, 20 minute album was rereleased on Arbutus Records when Sean left the prairies for a life in Montreal. All the songs were recorded by Sean directly to an MP3 recorded using a process I still do not understand. He wrote a lot of songs. A lot. And many of them are great. Many of them.
