Alfa Matrix has been using the catchline "Electronic Music With
Attitude" as their main label slogan for years. Their recent signing
from Australia, AVARICE IN AUDIO, are a band that truly embrace the Alfa
Matrix mantra, and show expertise in their craft with a unique blend of
Synthpop/EDM and Dark Electro stylings. Coming into their own on the
successful lead single "Frostbite" released a few months earlier, the
full length debut is here in the form of "Shine & Burn", a mixture
of melodic trance and emotional aggression sure to set the world on
fire: "Stars exist to Shine & Burn"...
Cold soundscapes, decadent baselines, romantic leads and a beauty and
beast style vocal dichotomy between members Jade Pegg & Gerry
Hawkins. Gerry's screaming and frantic vocals directly contrast with
Jade's ethereal operatic vocal style, transforming the songs almost into
an emotional war of attrition. The lyrics from Gerry are schizophrenic
in delivery and subject, rushing from heartbreak to addiction, to self
imposed punishment and struggling with celebrity. While Jade's delivery
comes with the touch of promise, of hope for finer things in the future.
Songs like "The Cassandra Complex", "Bleed As One" & "Punished"
show what the two are capable of, delivering a new style hybrid of
genres together to make something catchy, thought provoking and
danceable.
Combined with extra collaborations with maverick dark electro producers
ASCENSION EX, futurepop act XP8, futuristic artist REDUX and
electro-rock darlings MiXE1, Jade & Gerry show off their versatility
and genre slicing styles with surgical precision.
Evoking comparisons to AYRIA, GRENDEL, L'AME IMMORTELLE or yet ASHBURY
HEIGHTS and using the modern production styling of bands like NERO,
AESTHETIC PERFECTION & VNV NATION is what AVARICE IN AUDIO deliver, a
ultimate sonic experience rarely heard on a debut album naming them as
candidate newcomer of the year on electro land?
The deluxe double-CD carton box edition of the album is augmented with
remixes from huge names like C-LEKKTOR, ASSEMBLAGE 23, ∆AIMON,
