The Presets on New Wave Wednesday: Honorary Achievement Award

Posted about 1 year ago
There seems to be a lot of synthlines burning up the mog-o-sphere the last few days. The 80's are back, or maybe never left the premises.Australia's The Presets have released two singles from their upcoming recording. As I listened to the latest, "This Boy's In Love", I checked for sycronization. Sure enough, it's the real Wednesday. And since Dachmo pommeled my ears with Ms. Vega at 4am, and Poebegone pulled her ACT on us yesterday - this seemed only fitting.The Presets are Kim Moyes and Julian Hamilton, and from their myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/thepresets ), you'd think their sound was pre-ordained by the Salvation Army (or Aussie equivalent) They bill their work as Industrial/psychedelic/techno - yeah right, sounds like New Order, but a nice dark ride over hilly terrain.If you prefer, here's the promo vid:And down below is single #1 "My People"

  2. poebegone says wow, that certainly exceeds my synthesizers quota for the year. it's alright but not really calling out to me. hey, what's with the folded shirt sleeves - is that trendy again or something?

  3. scotfree says I liked the vid. The synths are too unadorned for much repeat play from me. Maybe the "Fonzie" stage is just now hitting them Aussies??? :)
