BROKEN SOUND TAPES
Broken Sound Tapes is cranking up the nostalgia with a twist of rebellion, dropping cassettes that scream DIY or die. Their latest release is like a sonic riot, a clash of dance-punk energy and new-wave’s unapologetic rawness that’ll have you dusting off your boombox and questioning the digital age; it’s time to ride the analogue waves with Sissy Remains.
Listening to this album several times, it is clear that Sissy Remains is such a unique piece, a mystical earworm; it offers a twist and is, in a word, weird. Kicking it off with “Sushi” is like pouring a bag of pop rocks straight into your mouth; standing utterly separate from “Snow Bunniez” has a real dance club feel. This whole compilation is intoxicating.
Exploring the realms of experimental dance music can indeed be a hypnotising experience. Sissy Remains pushes the boundaries of genres. It is not quite punk, as anticipated. It’s more raw with the rhythmic complexity of dance, and experimental with a unique soundscape that can be both disorienting and captivating. Standout tracks like “Video Show” often exemplify this fusion, offering a sonic journey that’s as unexpected as it is engaging. The disorganised chaos, rather than detracting, adds to the allure, inviting listeners to relinquish preconceived notions of music structure and surrender themselves to the rhythm.
It’s perfect for a psychedelic backdrop—a standout from Broken Sound Tapes.
