My new policy abides by the rule that says if the word 'Australia' gets mentioned once in a post then the rest of the text is completely disposable; & this band I'm about to praise is Australian!
Opting viral trickery to impress and force print a first impression we believe is ours when it's a psychological gimmick hack into our brains by big labels is the way to go these days, you see bands labeling themselves bizarrely under nonexistent genres such as Foam Screamo or Dolphin Pop in hopes of being received as unique!
As much as it's unrealistic it is a working method.
In the case of this electro dutch pop jam band they've coated their Mypace page with Optical Illusions & it actually makes sense accompanied by their music - the zinging brain jolts from those fraud eye damagers do come to mind when listening to their music because they have connected both for us to be instantly impacted by. – Meaning, if they make it BIG, then every sight twisting illusion will somehow relate to them being their visual aesthetic factor; sort of like how the † 'Cross' to a lot of people symbolizes Justice rather than religion.
First track is Flippers which sounds like the zombie version of the Backstreet Boys performing a distorted cover of Nelly's 'Ride Wit Me' while Nick's gay partner is playing Arkanoid on a 900" TV screen in the background, causing the static around the screen to form a magnetic RGB spiral that makes everyone daydream about synthesized kaleidoscopes!
♫ Art vs. Science - Flippers
Now, the other track Hollywood could be loved merely for re-simulating that Daft Punk 'Aerodynamic' faux guitar solo during the second half of it, but more for sounding like a cover of an Alien Ant Farm cover of Michael Jackson humming the vowels I-I-E-I!
♫ Art vs. Science - Hollywood
In shorts, this trio likes re-destructing late 90s early 00s boy band pop to reconstruct it again in 3D in a studio covered walls to ceiling with optical illusion print sheets because it makes the music sound better.
If you want to get a hint of their present day influences, just take a look at their top friends on MySpace.
