On Video Ages forthcoming album Pop Therapy, out June 15 via Inflated Records, longtime friends and songwriting partners Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli conjure up a thrilling assortment of experimental pop songs. Using a palette of vintage synthesizers and the propulsion of a Sequential Circuits Drumtraks drum machine, the New Orleans-based groups buoyant synth-pop echoes from some imagined vision of the past, leaning on an invented nostalgia to soundtrack an ideal future that never arrived. Video Age brings that future fully to life on Pop Therapy.Emerging from New Orleans DIY scene and label collectives, Farbe and Micarelli were intrigued by each others songwriting among several curiously satisfying guitar pop bands. As a producer and prolific engineer, Farbe has helmed some of the most excitingreleases from genre-pushing New Orleans artists, whose singular visions are made possible with his gifted ear and love of tape recording. Micarellis talent for crafting simple, tangible melodies complements Farbes studio world-building, letting ideas drift until they emerge into impressive arrangements.The pairs seemingly effortless gift for crafting earworm hooks was glimpsed on their 2016 debut Living Alone, a gorgeous collection of guitar-driven melancholy. On Pop Therapy, theyre joined by Duncan Troast, Nick Corson and Jordan Odom, taking inspiration from the limitless possibility on sonic canvases of the late 1970s and early 1980s (Yellow Magic Orchestra, McCartney II, Donald Fagens The Nightfly). Where Living Alonecatalogued the solitude of reflecting on what was and could have been, the sentimental love songs on Pop Therapygaze longingly at the likeliness of a brighter tomorrow.
Jackson MacIntosh will be an alien figure to most, but his resume pinpoints him as near the epicenter of the recent explosion in fantastic pop music currently being forged in the city of Montreal and exported the world over. He spent 2016 deploying funky, percolating bass lines on the road for indie pop outfit TOPS. He recorded and engineered the last two albums for labelmate Homeshake at his now-defunct home Montreal studio and venue, Drones Club. He has collaborated with cherished LA weirdo Drugdealer as well as Montreals Bernardino Femminielli, all in addition to fronting the masterfully hooky power pop band Sheer Agony. Such is the mans work ethic that, when catching up with MacIntosh, the question that inevitably springs to your lips is: so what are you working on next?
Shadow Show features 3 former members of Deadly Vipers. They are one of our new fave groups and are about to be yours too!
