Xander Harris - Urban Gothic

Okay, I know this is not new, it came out back in April but for anyone who likes the 80's horror electro vibe, this guy is really worth checking out.

This looks like it would sound like an interesting album.

Here's an overview:

NNF's latest pick-up is Xander Harris, a classically trained "keyboard-creep" with a slick line in synthesized horror redolent of Umberto's uncanny couplet of LPs. However, Xander's vision is focussed slightly further down the time scale, taking cues from John Carpenter, the futurist gaze of Chicago/Italo and sounds from the cusp of Kosmische/New Age. But those are just aesthetic differences, and the magic really lies in a shared mastery of engrossing, evocative narratives, from the track titles to the shadowy arrangements and the distinct mood they make. The more percussive, driven dance tracks such as 'Opening Credits', 'F*cking Eat Your Face' and 'I Want More Than Just Blood' are infectiously successful and give some of the biggest highlights, while the synth-painted scenes of 'Splatter In The Mouth' lean towards sharply rendered, yet lo-fi homages to Carpenter, or more likely those guys further down the sonic food chain whose soundtracks have infected the psyche of a generation.

pretty good stuff, i picked up a copy after i saw him play live here a couple of months ago

About to listen to it, will post opinion.

Solid album, got that John Carpenter vibe to it.

The album is decent, sounds like it goes to a horror movie no doubt. I really like that track Crying in the Dark.
