Comment: Geysers is the one-man-project of Alexander
van der Linden whose 8-track issue is a dreamy indie and electronic blended
issue, which probably 15 years ago could have been labelled as a new sort of
dance music to be emerged. However, electronic music embraces an important part
within the nowadays indie artist's aesthetic therefore understanding of the
genre borders has been changed in the middle of music reviewers. The recent
issue involves synthesisers only with intriguing yet moody undercurrents
(catchy orchestrated swathes and rainbow-coloured carcasses). Furthermore, one
track is followed by the other ones without disruptions between them. In a way,
one does listen to one very long track as a party set. It is very likeable to
enjoy those soulful vocal hovers at top of all of that (for instance, at Borders,
and Kaleido Star). Let's dance because of having such a classy issue and
because Morrissey is having birthday today (Kevin Shields did have it
yesterday). Happy birthday! The issue is a mote of the excellent
Netherlands-based imprint 2419 Records. At the moment it's one of the most
important issues being released in 2016.
