Dead Heretic

Neurocult have yet to release an EP or album at this point, so to review them, I'm reviewing their body of work so far.

One of my favourite tracks is “Regret”, which really made me perk up and pay attention to this duo. With heavily filtered vocals, Neurocult keep it organic on a lot of levels. Pianos figure heavy, as Neurocult's style of cyberpunk nods to a lot of different genres. Through their music, one gets the sense they recognise the shoulders on which they stand. “Regret” lifts you from the past into a dystopian future, replete with sound bites from The Terminator. I love movie sound bites in music.

“Parallax Girl* drops you into neon soundscapes from the depths of New Seoul and the synth waitresses serving you crap food. It's good a synthpop feel, but the frenzy of energy reaches complextro extremes. It's delicious and vocally resonant. This is one of my favourite tracks from Neurocult.

Check these sounds out and grab the lot! I heard an EP was in the pipeline, so watch this space!
