Synth wave dançante pra tirar os dois pés do chão é o que perpetua o duo canadense Vague Notion.
O debute homônimo lançado ano passado passeia livremente por todos os desmembramentos do synth pop, desde o tecnopop até a minimal wave em momento mais intensos.
Um estreia pra deixar os fãs do gênero bem contentes.
***** Interview with Vague Notion *****
Q. When did Vague Notion started, tell us about the history...
1. Vague Notion began 20 years ago when Bevan and Cheryl had their first date which happened to be a recording session. In 2012, they began exploring with electronics and Ableton. This new medium allowed their diverse styles to meld beautifully to create something fresh and modern.
Q: Who are your influences?
2. Between the two, influences are broad and far reaching both geographically and sonically. From Jazz to electronica, from Africa to South America and all points in between.
Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
3.Because we are so different in our choices we felt it necessary to have 2 lists
Cheryl's 1.Peter Gabriel- Security
2.Joni Mitchell-Hissing Of Summer Lawns
3.The Knife- Silent Shout
4.Eurythmics-Sweet Dreams
5.Jean Michel Jarre- Oxygene
Bevan's 1.Bob Marley-Uprising
2.The Police-Ghost In The Machine
3.Herbie Hancock-Head Hunters
4.Kanda Bongo Man-Kwassa Kwassa
5. St. Vincent- St. Vincent
Q. How do you feel playing live?
4.Playing live is exhilarating,rewarding, fun and at times can be nerve wracking. It is a true test of a musicians mettle and we love it.
Q. How do you describe Vague Notion sounds?
5.It's a modern sound with lots of power, weighty lyrics, dense beats with a sawtooth ambience. Highly original,expansive electronica with an artful edge. We call it Deep Mountain Electronica.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
6.We tend to record our ideas separately first and then we each pick what we would like to work on. We lay down our own tracks on the others ideas and then we discuss the collaboration further. Bevan is our main mixer and producer while I give my own input to the final polishing. There is a lot of mutual respect between us.
