Blue Ray Explain This (Deluxe) cassette
Dark electronic post-punk band with ’80s vibes. I loved the combination of more classically gothic elements (like the choir-esque intro in “Downtown”) with the large variety of vocal types (distorted vocals in “On All Fours,” spoken word-style in “Downtown,” speaking while exhaling smoke in “Gimme”) that really keep you on your toes. The variety of dark elements they utilized really contributed to their overall sound. With electronic solos in a couple of tracks, they really shine in their cover of “Wicked Game.” They’re able to take the song, change it to their more upbeat and post-punk style, and create a song that leaves you feeling emotionally crushed.
