Encased in ice only to be later thawed out, you find yourself in the 1980s: a time when the likes of synthpop and new wave were prominent. One can make the argument that it was also a period where many (if not all) recording artists could savor cheesiness without a care in the world. The Black Queen revel in the cornball nature of their musical influences whilst putting a more organic spin on the sound; the result is a fun, engrossing debut in Fever Daydream. Though very reminiscent of a three-decade-old era, the atmosphere that this project's first studio album carries isn't all that frumpy, either. The Dillinger Escape Plan frontman Greg Puciato's singing vocals are ultimately on point, and the manner in which a lot of the songs off the record are structured end up sounding catchy and smart enough to justify more visits. Angel recommends: "Ice to Never," "Maybe We Should/Non-Consent," "That Death Cannot Touch," and "Taman Shud".

Somewhat similar to Beacon, but way more ambitious and explosive and with better vocals I'd say. However, I can't say that the tunes themselves and the lyrical structure were absolutely great. They definitely give less than they could have theoretically, despite the great beats and the production.

Thanx to quite the junction of electronically experienced personnel, the 80s worship-meets-now synth-beast beats are admittedly often worth the ear-lend: between the steamy-n-spooky atmospherics and quivery hectic-techie dance cuts, it's convincing+rigorous in its goth-brood sensuality and doesn't back down from slight weirdo touches like elastic-trap spicings or twitchy-trick xtra-sound whip-outs. But then comes the inescapable wince that occurs during flamboyance this stagy and sentimental -- oh right, that quite the junction personnel's previous works include The Dillinger Escape Plan, Nine Inch Nalls, and er, Kesha. Actually, if you cut DEP from that equation but keep their forays into electro-skeez-pop and stuff the vacant gap with a heap of groaner Phil Collins cliches, that just may be a passable sum-up.
