This year is relentless with the 80's flashback sound. I think I've jumped in a time machine and just saw a DeLorean drive by. Tesla boy is another band to add to the list of 80's synthpop releases of 2013 with The Universe Made of Darkness. Like I always say, music really bridges the cultural gap. A Russian band singing in English and copying the pop 80's sound while doing so. Don't let the title of the album fool you, this is a fun throwback sound mixing synth and even at times a little of the Kool and The Gang R&B with songs like "Stars." And then the album has moments of pure pop like the Pet Shop Boys with the song "1991."
"Split" is the second release from The Universe Made of Darkness. I hear a bit of Twin Shadows on this track which I really dig. It has that same R&B mixed with the synthpop of the 80's that's easy on the ears. You can find great synthpop from anywhere these days. Nice Coke endorsement in the video.
"Fantasy" seems to have gotten the most play from The Universe Made Of Darkness on YouTube. I imagine it's because of the girl in the webcam video is practically naked. She's topless actually. Not sure if this video is office appropriate. You have been warned. Never a bad idea for unknown bands to try their hand at a little T&A to get a few views. Just saying, do whatever works to get your music heard. So, this is what people do on Skype.
