Marsheaux is a Greek duo that make some really fun ]danceable synthpop. They have had virtually no impact on music beyond their side of the world but they deserve more recognition. On their newest album Inhale, they do a great job of making a complete wall to wall musical experience. It's a pretty relentless synthpop album with little fat to trim. This is the kind of music genre bands need to have fun with and Marsheaux do exactly that. Even on songs like "Alone" which is a bit darker, the beat is upbeat and pop ready. 80's flashback music never gets old in my book. That was the era when I was first discovering music and it takes me back to it.
The biggest difference from this album than their last might be the dream quality. The synthpop at times hits shoegaze territory. "To The End" has an almost a College vibe to me. It's a bit moody at first before the song really gets going. It's songs like this that make this album a complete experience. Gives the album a touch of weight. Dig through Youtube because this band has a ton of great music for you to discover. Check out their clever cover of "Eyes Without A Face."
My favorite song from Marsheaux prior to this album was "Dream Of A Disco." Maybe it's the Flock of Seagulls synth vibe in the background, but this song sort of just hooked me and I had to start digging up their music. Nothing too complex about this song's lyrics.
