Choir Boy is a four piece group based out of Ohio and now on their sophomore record they are doing what they do best but with a touch more flair. In general you will be presented with a lush and expansive synthpop and new wave experience with very low vibrato style vocals. Track after track you are taken on synth roller coaster with so many bright shimmering elements that it makes you feel right out of an 80s romance movie. However this is anything but romantic, lyrically this is a cry for gender equality and the end to toxic masculinity. My only negative with this is that the weaker tracks here really derail me from fully enjoying this album. Also the Cure influence is rather blatant. But I still really love this album and if you want some classic 80s sound with modern production (and it not being cheese and hell) give this a go.
