Neon Lies

Reviews

Neon Lies Demons LP

Electronic darkwave band. I loved how their slight tempo changes created unique vibes to each song, while staying cohesive to one another in a darker yet playful way. This album makes you feel like you’re being dragged into another world or realm. The distant sort of vocals layered with repeated bass lines and synths really created a nice electronic gloom. I also really enjoyed the track “Pretender,” which was more upbeat but still felt unique and non-repetitive. Loved these guys.

Neon Lies Loveless Adventures LP

The energy of the minimal beat of a drum machine, the icy kiss of the keyboard, a simple and hermetic melody, the detached but at the same time romantic and confused vocal, the irrepressible desire to dance and forget for a while the misery of modern life, the infinite capacity to create personal hymns, the invitation to inhabit the night and lose yourself in it, with or without love and to join other lonely people in the repetitive movement of your feet, your body and your head. To be outside yourself for a while. That’s Loveless Adventures by NEON LIES, the minimal synth project of Goran Lautar from Zagreb, Croatia. The album is so good that it’s sold out, but I recommend buying it digitally so you can listen non-stop to the four songs that close the album, my favorites: “Loveless,” “Hands,” “Alone,” and “Light.” Brutal.
