The world is divided into two categories. There are those who prefer the bright, shining day, fresh air and nature. Music is the Beach Boys school, surfing in California, the gaiety of a bright sun and waves alternatives. And there are those who prefer the night and darkness, the atmosphere heavy and claustrophobic. Velvet Underground is their father at all, these children of darkness who complaisent in the dark of the swarming metropolis. Screen Vinyl Image is decidedly of the latter. The world of this duo New York (one more ...) is one of the club as it develops over the 80 years: a place where vice and stupre reign supreme. Where the bloated and tired eyes of the coke try to pierce a heavy veil of smoke stagnant, brain engraved by endless waves of synth sounds and haunting. The little fellow A Place to Bury Strangers are the children of the dark side of the moon, those who are not small kisses to mom or Bobon before going to sleep but fall into the square in the vapes VIP still in the hood gland.

Now that it does not say that their music is reduced to a mere phenomenon of club worthy of Dead Can Dance or Talk Talk. The 80 years are a time since their return to grace, it is true. They were certainly, and it likes to repeat to the environment, among the worst for the ears and eyes, make immondes synths, of hairstyles indecent, injury unlikely to propriety dress the most basic and putasserie a pop reaganienne obscene, embodying the worst of music sold to a globalized market economy, cynical and aggressive. But stop there would ignore the diversity of a decade that never ceases to deliver a wealth of inventiveness as long as we move beyond the sterile surface of soup that Classic Nostalgia 21 and returned stubbornly . All this, Screen Vinyl Image knows too well illustrated and quite bright, happily foraging in a directory which reviews all waves which covered the years honnies their water.

New Wave?

The big word is released. The word dirty. Screen Vinyl Image warn synths, drum machines. Much. This is the uniqueness of their music over their friends label already cited from A Place to Bury Strangers: This is for his soundsystem surgonflés clubs, this sensitivity to electronic rhythms that broke everything in the brain while decibels pass critical levels. Like Mount Sims asexual, Paul Oakenfold of cocaine, without Giorgio Moroder Donna Summer.

No Wave?

It said it again, be careful not to take Screen Vinyl Image for what it is: a rotted by the sentimentality of pop new wave fm. Without going into the extremes of arty and decadent zozos as Teenage Jesus and the Jerks or The contortions they are not in the Bran Van 3000. There is a kind of defiance at the same time respect for the material. While there is an electro eighties under strong influence, but it is not the Buggles! Themselves are demanding more of a post-punk spirit, that of a Gang of Four or The Wipers, but, no doubt, this sub-branch in-branch, in the wake Joy Division were named:

Cold Wave?

Interceptors could be perfect for the soundtrack album of Apocalypse technology (Death Defiance sound is not reminiscent of the famous theme of TERMINATOR 2). And who better than Joy Division and The Jesus and Mary Chain have expressed the violence of a universe that dehumanized industrial and sinking deeper into hedonism stunned endless evenings taking psychotropic variety? No doubt, as SVI APTBS has learned the lessons of one or the other, and when the meter in the red part and sputter all up, we shall ask if the group does not attempt recovery In a bold Hole. And if the sound strident and tortured as rabies noisy brothers belong to Reid, the emotion behind that pierces the crudeness of the product, it is for the desperate proletarian voice of Ian Curtis.

Crossing gender can not be more friendly, the kind that gives meaning and weight in the cellophane packaging of the whole. Toc plastic and covers the sound of a metal intense flickering, giving the whole aspect of a machine as clean to create anxiety and psychosis than ecstasy. Not bad in itself for a first album that may well appeal to all lovers of the heavy and poisonous atmosphere of noxious cold and do not forget to cut their masochism with a healthy dose of momentum festive. In the world of night, hope that place will be made to sparkle and lifeless scrap Screen Vinyl Image.
