Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Dan Mangan, Sleepy Sun) and mixed by Tony Hoffer (M83, Beck, Foster the People, Air, Depeche Mode), the album finds its place in the contemporary indie pop landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Analogue synthesizers, modulating Moog saw tooth leads, and FM soft pads, create an atmosphere akin to city street summer\u00a0midnight\u00a0meanderings. Wiry guitars, stabbing or jangly make way for fuzzed out phasing lead tones. This sonic atmosphere permeates through the entirety of the record.<\/p>\n<p>The album is an exercise in pop pleasures ranging from spiky guitar-driven tracks (often recorded with a Dinosaur Jr. flare for the dramatic), to Depeche Mode-dark synth songs (<em>Starvation<\/em>), and irrepressible sing-alongs (lead single, <em>Saturday Night<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The music video for <em>Saturday Night<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0is a\u00a0decadent and camp-laden video that bridges punk, disco and glam rock while playing with notions of ego and sexuality in a single-shot format. It\u2019s directed by Mac Boucher\u00a0(Grimes, Te Shi) and stars drag queen Sapphire.

She\u2019s animated, glamorous, and is straight up one of the best performers I\u2019ve ever seen. The idea of a drag queen is fascinating, because dissimilar to transgender, the drag queen\u2019s purpose is to perform, provoke, and really, really question what you\u2019re seeing\u2026 which is always a good thing in my opinion.
