1. Together
2. Serpentine
When this Deathstar Preview promo CD begins it sounded a little like 80s electro group Time Zone, and by the time it ended it sounded like Placebo. It's an odd journey, but a mixture between those two groups sums up their sound quite well and creates an intense texture similar to Rachel Stamp.
Rhythmic powerchords, disco drums, ringing solos and retro synths combine with the rich vocals to make a sound that is as camp as Christmas and as club-friendly as a masochist seal. Together is the more original track of the two with a distinctive sound of its own, but Serpentine is a better written song with a better hookline and shows their ability to create an atmosphere.
This is a good little CD, if a little on the tame side for me, but nonetheless worth a listen.
