We re big fans of simplicity here at Ears Peeled. We really are. We see it as classic, instead of boring, think it is much too underrated and should be considered a little more in everything in life. We do however love our occasional touch of Funk in everything to keep things interesting, mind you. But we don't think we were expecting what Aussie duo, Casper Cult had in store for us with 'Industrial Love'. It's modern and chaotic almost but has a sort of yin-yang quality in it. It's a weird description. Allow us to explain...
First impressions are crucial to us, and we won't lie, we were skeptical for the whole first minute thinking that it sounded more like a cacophony than music. And when you find out how the music has been created you understand immediately. Producer Dylan Hill and vocalist Alisha Linsdell have been recording in bedrooms & wardrobes, with every device they could use from iPhone apps, cheap analog synthesizers and drum machines. They mean it when they say they create experimental electronic music.
However, despite our first reaction, we went back and started over. To *REALLY* listen to it, you know? There was an element in there, in the midst of all those electronic mixes and instruments that caught our ear. No doubt the vocals by Alisha Linsdell are amazing, she is a talented songstress, but it wasn't that. What really got us was the unexpected melody underneath; the steady beat behind all those water-like sounds, oh and ahs and everything else. The varying progression of the strum, at the right time, every time. It sounds organic but must have been superbly calculated to obtain this dream like sound.
In the end, Casper Cults' dream-electro music has made fans of us with their Russian doll-like music. We know it's only the first song to their debut EP (to be released later this year by Dry Cry Records) but since they intend to keep (in their own words) "focusing on organics, [...] manipulation of raw sounds, and minimal synthetics", we see a promising future ahead for this brilliant duo.
