Although a bit bizarre when you first listen to it, Synthworks from Narrow Sparrow grows on you over time.
This short compilation is only 4-tracks long but there’s enough things to dissect and check out that makes it highly entertaining. Enveloped in a hazy, spacey sound, the background music are quite random but when the singing starts, it’s easy to see its charm.
Narrow Sparrow comes from Chicago and is made up of�Ricky,�Dina and�Matt.
If you’re a big electro pop lover then Narrow Sparrow would be comfortable on your playlist. Synthworks is their first compilation and it’s bringing in a sense of adventure and goofiness to the already eclectic genre.
Containing 4-tracks, the EP begins with Joe Meeks Dream. If you look at their cover album, the song is a lot like that. It’s a world where fantastical creatures come to life while various instruments pop up in the background. The vocals are melodic and recorded in a hazy, analog style which adds to the interest.
Spookyhead, follows closely and takes a more mellow approach. Described by one reviewer as similar to a track played in a 1950s school dance, the song is quite appealing in a retro kind of way. The melodic rhythm and harmonizing vocals add to its subtle and beautiful touch. Completing the mini-psychedelic EP is Glow and Moon Temple.
Overall, Synthworks is a great escape if you feel like giving your mind some freedom to get lost in an electro pop dreamworld. Even though the EP is quite short, it’s quite a treat for bizarre electro enthusiasts everywhere. Take a listen and grab the download if you like it.
