London based post punk band Girls In Synthesis have been building a reputation with various EPs released their debut album last week. It is a great album that doesn't disappoint with a feral wall of guitars and drums, snarling angry vocals and wild heavy electronic action. Picking one track has been difficult, but I am going with The Images Agree. A powerhouse that rings with bass driven melodies, the rhythmic drumming and the despair in the delivery of “Who listens to me?”, it’s a plea for everyone to stop being manipulated by the tabloids. I hear some old school punk influences coming through on the album such as Black Flag and The Germs. Lovely.
A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.
