#2018 Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle

I haven't had one of those "how have I never heard this before?" records in a while, but call this the latest.

Man those synth tones are killer, loped into lazy hooks + deadpanned scifi dreads. Alienating and catchy, the last human in the kraftwerk dystopia. It's not gimmicky, not arch, not art // not pop. Cars is a classic, but my highlight pick goes to M.e. - that bassy buzz is the best sound I've heard in ages, withering vocals and last-leaf plucks complete the robot heart.

Classic 4.5/5
