Bryson Cone is a Portland-based musician and producer who sank his teeth into the PNW music scene as a founding member of the synth-rock band Fog Father. That band’s 2014 EP Razzle Dazzle had an eccentric charisma and psychedelic texture that went heavy on woozy synth lines; that charisma and psych rock feel has carried over into Cone’s full-length debut as a solo artist the satisfying Magnetism. The album is set for release on Cleopatra Records in February, featuring contributions from members of Cat Hoch Band, Paper Gates and Reptaliens.
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
