Windom Earle All Stars - A Series of Minor Personal Tragedies (2006)



/Electro-punk, Chip punk, Prog-indie, Avant-punk, Synth pop, Experimental rock, Art rock, Dance rock, Electronic pop/


Comment: what the heck, this is an experienced, frenetic combo of 6 musicians from Halifax, Canada offering up 14 electro, primitive electro/8-bit/chiptune and prog-drenched punk ditties (even hardcore and shoutcore-loaded songs are up here). Clever lyrics, huge feeze, intricate compositions - in a word, all what shall have to be presumed to create a gritty pop album on its own. For instance, you must listen to Potato Potato, a breathtaking notch with gleaming, blissed-out electro groove. More profoundly, if you are searching for some kindred souls, I recommend listen to Xiu Xiu, Ooberman, Deerhof, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Clinic, and Hipster Youth.
