Mark Barrage's new album is much more avant-Krautrock than dance anthem, no matter how much the onesheet tries to tell you otherwise. One of Melbourne's finest fuzzy pop electronic wizards has another heaped plate ready to shove down your throat. And we're not just reviewing it because he's our Music Editor either.
The second album from Mark Barrage brings a sound that is a bit more mature than the first. He reveals a dense, complicated album that is a few steps ahead of his American contemporaries like YACHT, Dan Deacon, and Panther. That being said, can someone tell us why he is still opening for Beaches and Love of Diagrams and not Kraftwerk?
Oh, and Mark? Let me know when you get back to Melbourne so I can tell you how I really feel.
