Angela Ruins If Legendary Pink Dots had a child, this is what it would sound like. Lovely in all the right places. Favorite track: Whispers of the Heart.

Gary Figueroa In the moment of purchase my soul was demanding I provide it with some lively Synth-pop. I landed here. While entertaining for a moment there is no aftertaste. Its derivative as hell. Overall, the record is like chasing a coke high knowing you'll never find it. Good effort. Very freshman. Peace -@daFigz™ Favorite track: Whispers of the Heart.

KRAFTJERKZ 049

Plastic Ivy, who has made a name for herself in the underground spheres of analog synth experimentation, has released her first full length for Kraftjerkz, entitled “Spots of Time.” The album is as much a lyrical treasure as it is an analog synth dream, brought to life through abundant melodies and arpeggiations, alluring vocals, and a somber emotional tone that courses through the veins of the album.
Plastic Ivy’s influences are wide ranging; sonically, the nod to cold wave, the new romantics, and early indie is clear. Lyrically, the album draws influence from William Wordsworth to historian Timothy Snyder to jazz composer Billy Strayhorn. “Spots of Time” should be listened to with an ear held close to the lyrics, which are earnest yet detached, cooly crooned, and above all else—poetic. Standout tracks like “Images,” and “New Eyes” are entirely dance-worthy. Plastic Ivy casts a range of emotions in these new pieces: from vulnerable, lonely, and contemplative to nostalgic, romantic and transcendent. Overall, “Spots of Time” is an exquisite example of experimental synth pop. - Taylor Bratches

"There are in our existence spots of time, That with distinct pre-eminence retain A renovating virtue, whence depressed By false opinion and contentious thought, Or aught of heavier or more deadly weight, In trivial occupations, and the round Of ordinary intercourse, our minds Are nourished and indivisibly repaired." - W. Wordsworth

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
