SYNTHAR was formed in 2005 from the ashes of the short-lived Seattle pop
band Biltus. As drummer Joel Heng Hartse, guitarist Matt Basinger, and
bassist/producer Andrew Best prepared to go their separate ways for grad
school, the idea of a synth-based “internet band” was proposed, and
soon a mutual friend, Johnny Bertram, was added to email threads
discussing the band’s sound, songs, and plans.
The band, now known as SYNTHAR, primarily became a collaboration of
Bertram (also known for his southern rock/alt-country records with
Johnny Bertram and the Golden Bicycles) and Best (founder of successful
synthesizer software company Blamsoft), with occasional collaborations
from the others. Instrumental tracks and lyrical ideas flew between
members via email from home bases in New York City, Silicon Valley,
Jackson, MS, and occasionally rural China and Indonesia.
What emerged was Evenings & Weekends, a relentlessly catchy 12-song
synth-pop record of longing and alienation in the postmodern global
world – labyrinthine synth lines and intricate production wrapped around
songs about death and loss, politics and greed, love and hope, all sung
in Bertram’s warm, rich voice.
The album was released in November 2007 to immediate acclaim. Nashville
singer/songwriter Derek Webb called Evenings and Weekends “beautiful,
melodic, synth-based music.” Attention from local press and music blogs
followed, and SYNTHAR tracks began to be featured regularly on radio
shows and videos from the popular NPR program Science Friday.
