4.0 excellentMadBaron | October 14th 15

I'm not much of a dancer, but when I listen to this album I feel immediately compelled to
dance like no one's watching. This album is full of vintage analogue synths (Some of which
are reminiscent of the soundtrack to Sega Genesis games), excellent production and killer
hooks. It's obvious Tesla Boy are big fans of old school synthpop. Their name was even
inspired by an OMD single. High energy tracks like "Synthetic Prince", "Electric Lady" and
the vaugely sinister disco strut of "Thinking of You" will definitely have you on your feet
and moving. Tesla Boy aren't afraid to show their dark side either: From the brooding but
uptempo "Rebecca" to the seductive, bass-driven intricacy of "Dark Street" to the industrial
revving in the opening of "Minsk-2". The only real flaw lies in their vocalist, who at times
can sound like Andy McClusky crossed with a goose, however this is forgivable as English is
not his first language and the music is excellent.
