The latest and greatest from\u00a0Ektro Records<\/strong>, featuring a smattering of electronic music, interspersed with bittersweet acoustic tunes.<\/p>\n

Ektro Records’ so called vinyl-arm, Full Contact, is launching a new series bearing the imaginative title Full Contact Synthwave Series<\/em>. Now, the title is somewhat more imaginative than you’d think, in that neither of the opening one-two punch resembles the renowned greats of synthwave, nor would I necessary place them in that category. Then again, I’m not a person from whom you should ask help in organizing your electronic music collection anyways.<\/p>\n

Lazer Angels<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The very first release under FCSS is the debut 7″ from Lazer Angel<\/strong> – a duo featuring none other than Jussi Lehtisalo himself, with Bruce Duff from Jesters of Destiny<\/strong> and several SoCal punk and alternative bands. The duo’s collaboration employs various analog synths and drum machines to a blend of John Carpenter<\/strong>, Tangerine Dream<\/strong> and Gary Numan<\/strong>, though the initial single \u201cSoul Exchange\u201d b\/w \u201cShut Down Incoming Signal\u201d features rather straighforward pop songs beneath the layers and layers of synths.<\/p>\n
