Synths vs Me – 22-226-001 Synths Vs Me

22Recordings aka. Veintidos hears head honchos C.ru.z and Marine routinise Barca’s new beat, dark synth and EBM scene in label format, building on a popular celerity for such styles in the city. This new release from the ingeniously conceived and christened Synths Vs Me (Nico CabaNas, Vanessa Asbert) hears the duo-come-band-project drop a fresh, Kafkaesque new EP, building on similar themes to their sixth Oraculo Records issuance Default Mode Network from 2024. Moods of broadcast horror and disaffected asperity abound, with ‘So Far’ stretching our minds across a brutal torture rack of telephonic vocals and arpeggiated synth incisions, and ‘Farenheit 451’ taking stock of the censorious Ray Bradbury novel against languid-as-ever vocals from Asbert.
