Screensaver Three Lens Approach LP
SCREENSAVER out of Melbourne has been pumping out material for the past six years, and on their latest full-length Three Lens Approach, they invite us to a gothic synth punk dub party that has us dancing to the unexpected shifts between DEVO-ish rhythms to more melancholic “Death Disco” inspirations. Multiple synthesizers fire off as hard-hitting bass lines and fierce guitar licks create an immersive atmosphere, while Krystal Maynard’s vocals are charged and velvety. Occasionally I’m reminded of things like the EPOXIES or CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE, but SCREENSAVER is definitely carving out a sound that is uniquely their own.
