More rangey darkwave ethereality from San
Francisco’s Glowing Dagger, this time via Plattenbau’s “Endless.” Gloomy synths
and clicking drum machines prop up vocals straight out of the school of Beth
Gibbons. The well-mixed result makes for appropriate synthwave soundtrack
fodder – there’s definitely an eighties suspense thriller/supernatural romance
that’s missing four perfect songs. And by the time you realize there are only
four songs (d’oh!), you’ll already be neck deep in some sort of séance that
you’ll need to escape at the last second. Or maybe your lot is to succumb to
it. Who’s to say?
You need more songs to get through whatever it is! I
guess that’s what the rewind button is for? Then “Endless” can be truly …
endless.
