D/A/D - The Construct

Fakten Equipped with a guitar, a synthesizer, and a wide palette of 80s-derived tones, D/A/D crafts cinematic compositions fit for a cruise down neon-streaked city streets, or a journey to the outer ring of a distant galaxy. The Construct follows 2009's acclaimed Super Motives EP with a cycle of ten new compositions, each loaded with enough anthemic melodies, hi-fi synth passages, and guitar solos to take up indefinite residence in the "Epic" branch of your musical memory. The Construct spans as many moods as genres, jetting alternately into Italo-disco stomp, syncopated boogie funk, slow-burning balladry, and cosmic drift. These diverse atmospheres cohere into a consistent whole, united by D/A/D’s sense of dramatic pacing: strident drum tracks hammer out foundations; keyboard voices overlap into polyphonic bliss; any number of big payoffs hit in the form of synth motifs or six-stringed leads eager to whisk us off to a new zone.
