The Chairman - Economies (2011)
/Alternative, Leftfield, Electro pop, Alternative dance, Electronic pop/
Comment: The Chairman is Sam Deere, Adelaide, Australia-based artist`s project who at the time provides 9-piece album, entitled as Economies. Deere fuses a vast array of cadences with acidic synth developments in hover. Sharp-edged rhythms are variegated with tricky, even funny changes. Yet, the issue`s album intention should not be misunderstood - it is not only about orthodox kind of dance/electro pop. Deere has managed to enter into the realm of psychedelic and indie-fused universe now and then. Furthermore, Chalk On The Blank Slate takes on energetic flamenco-tipped progressions amplified with orchestrations above catchy rhythms and guitar strums. Onward, he uses electro-drenched aggressive aesthetics filled in with drilling synth sticks, fast-changing breakbeat washes and lofty, infiltrated noise within it. All notches are instrumental. If to compare his undertaking with someone then Deere would be juxtaposed to Angus Maiden aka The Peach Tree, another Australian musician.
