Slvmber – Teenage Crimes

Andrew Zistler — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 17:13:51 +0000

After coming in twice in our top 10 EP’s of the year in 2016 and 2018, Slvmber is back again with a delicious sophomore LP, “Teenage Crimes.”

This album is a luscious continuation of the inspired Slvmber sound – rich melodies wrapped in stuttering Com Truise inspired beats and staccato bass synths. In “Teenage Crimes” however, we see Slvmber stretch his melodies a bit more, resulting a more fulfilled sound.

As retrosynth and outrun sounds get recycled over and over it’s getting harder for artists to sound distinctive while still maintaining that retrowave aesthetic. This is where Slvmber nails a critical success – in creating something fresh but still within a genre framework.

Slvmber – Water Beds EP

Andrew Zistler — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 15:22:45 +0000

Crashing into your earbuds like cool coastal waves is Slvmber “Water Beds” – one the best EP’s I’ve had the privilege of listening to in the past few months.

Pumping straight from the California based artist Slvmber, “Water Beds” updates Slvmber’s crisp sound he introduced with the Hypersleep EP back in 2016. (Which, coincidentally, made our top 10 EP list for the year!) This new soundscape is awash in colorful synths and staccato basslines that punctuate important moments of each track – creating an interesting take on the synthwave genre reminiscent of a few select Com Truise tracks.
