Machines humming with human desire: theJLM fires a warning shot at the hyper-elite with the guillotine-sharp "Guillotine," while Modern Ideas crafts Melbourne garage synth-pop where plastic dreams and electric romance collide in cold-yet-warm 80s-indebted drama. Kindness Inc. weaves an electro folk love story that betrays death itself, and Jon Hopper debuts with melodic, melancholic synth-pop steeped in memory and mankind's relationship to the natural world. Rinsse rounds things out with queer industrial jazz exploring isolation and bewilderment through psychedelic pop meets electronic-driven dystopia.
