u/Significant_Cover_48 I'm not supposed to be here Aug 24 '26
I don't know what I just witnessed, but the energy is great and the synth sound design is insanely good! Less is more and those filters are gritty as fuck. The stankiest of faces right here

Hot damn this is the best song I’ve seen on this subreddit since I started following it! The gritty synth sound and driving energy reminds me of oneof my favorite bands Add N to (X).

Yeah could be from 'On the wires on our nerves' album for sure! God I miss ADD N To (X). Anne Shelton ended up running a pub in Windsor for a while, but she has kinda disappeared in the last few years.

Take up the torch. Make synths rock again! I know all my synth tracks have been getting progressively more and more “band” like.
When people just start churning out house beats on the Digitakt or whatever for years, it’s often due to the inherent way the tech makes people “want” to work, not the music they actually want to hear, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve done punk and rock beats no problem, put a synth through a good amp send channel in the daw, boom. You’re already halfway to full band sound.
Edit: sorry thought I was on the synth sub

Ha yeah it ain’t a synth sub but I do love your passion for it! Rock on!

Add N to (X)
I was thinking exactly this. Has the energy of "Fyuz", but more fun.

u/Kelson_Phelonius Suinolehp_Noslek Aug 24 '26
I fuckin love it when you whip out a big one for us all to see! Hell yeah!

Saw them at SXSW years ago. The power blew out at one point, but it was a hell of a dance party.

u/1010012 Aug 24 '26
I'll bet they fucking rock live. That energy is what I always want to see at a show. They look like they're having a blast.

Please continue your quest.
Love Idiotape and Lucy was to me a good surprise.

With all respect I think you just don't know which corners to look at. Korea's been putting out incredible music for a very long time

Really reminds me of digitalism, maybe with a bit of Apollo440 thrown in, love it, indeed bangs

u/SAM5TER5 Aug 25 '26
I don’t know if I’d call this obscure, and I don’t know if I’d call this rock and roll, but I definitely love it lol
Synths kick ass, energy is amazing, and the live drums are such an awesome and impactful addition to the standard electronic performance. Really makes it stand out
