From the nostalgic words of Aaron Levin:
The first demos by Makeout Videotape had this heavy cassette-warble from the red-line recordings made directly to cassette. Add the immensely catchy lyrics about typical bullshit and I was completely won over. I eagerly awaited his official release and was initially disappointed to see all new songs. The waves of distortion washed over me and my opinions were born anew in the wasteland of teenage sexual tension and Nilsson covers. It wasn't long before I was, once again, thwarting the recordings on all my friends and hassling the Edmonton ex-pat for more. 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.
Des mots nostalgiques d’Aaron Levin: (Traduit par l’esprit rétro de Maya Keshav)
Quelqu’un a acheté un billet à Londres, 1985. Le duo montréalais est entré au studio Human League et a téléchargé l’esprit de Philip Oakley au Garage Band. La synthpop contagieuse de la meilleure variété de rétro. Même si beaucoup de ces groupes ont l’air malheureusement éculé et moderne, je ressens des ondes complètement vintages auprès de ce groupe qui dépassent l’audio et influencent l’écriture, le phrasé, la séxualité. Je connais rien de leur spectacles, mais le CD-Rom compant 12 chansons qui était enregistré fin 2008 est un beau succès de pop. Sean Nicholas Savage chante quelques chansons.
