It happened this year in Sweden. Rational Youth reunited for
their first shows in Europe in well over a decade, supported by
fellow-Canadian, though now long-time ex-pats Psyche. Both
artists have a dedicated fan-following, and whether you take
Unveiling the Secret or Cold War Night Life, The Crawler or
Holiday in Bangkok, both artists have left an undeniable mark on
the synthpop scene both in Canada and in Europe.
We are not really sure who came up with the admittedly kitsch
idea of covering the AC/DC classic Thunderstruck, but after
seeing it performed live as an encore from Stockholm to Malmo, we
were sold. The familiar melody makes a killer analogue synthline,
and the vocal performances by Tracy Howe and Darrin Huss are
bang-on. Surely, tongues are firmly planted in cheeks on this
one, but you've never had more fun, and after all that is what
synthpop is all about. It's also a revenge song of sorts:
Psyche's Synthpop revenge on all those years of bullying by AC/DC
fans for listening to New Wave stuff like Gary Numan while in
high school. By having fun with such an iconic stadium rock tune,
the artists are bridging a gap in diversity.
The exclusive b-side Underrated is an original track that
combines the best elements of Psyche and Rational Youth, with
Howe's almost deadpan style creating the perfect counterpoint to
Huss' crooning. Underrated is a spontaneous electro wonder
created by Kevin Komoda, and brought to a frenetic final
statement on unsung heroes by Darrin, Tracy, as well as Gaenor
Howe on vocals.
