👶 If LCD Soundsystem and Wang Chung had a baby…
🎧 Song Baby: “Fade” – Def Rain
🧬 Sounds Like: woozy synth haze drifting over a pulsing beat

Why it fits:
I first heard Def Rain when Fred Armisen mentioned them as a band to look out for on a podcast. As soon as I put them on I was blown away. This was over two years ago and Instill can’t believe this band has not blown up.
The upbeat synth pulse is an obvious nod to LCD but it’s really the vocal similarity that reminded me of Wang Chung. As a radio DJ might say it’s “the best of the 80’s, 90’s and today!”

Please check out Def Rain’s other tracks, you won’t be disappointed. Would love to get this band pushed up to a new level of fans.

💬 What do you hear? more LCD sweat or Wang Chung shine? Anyone else?

Next Week - Sept 30: Soft as Snow (Norway) with Def Rain and Python Potions [SHOWROOM]

September 30th | $15 |18+ | 8PM Doors

Tickets on Prekindle.com

Soft as Snow
The Norwegian electronic duo Soft as Snow returns with their most powerful statement yet. Their second full length ‘Bit Rot’ perfectly captures the friction of our contemporary existence in which smooth digital surfaces are locked in conflict with messy physical realities. The crumbling of fantastic European infrastructure is mirrored by luxurious synthwave and ecstatic trance crumbling into nightmarish, corroded cyberscapes.
 
The songs on ‘Bit Rot’ create a wide variety of zones in which pleasure and discomfort come together organically and seamlessly. Even as these songs are eaten alive by oppressive atmospheres and destabilizing glitches they never lose sight of their strong melodic underpinnings. Tracks like ‘Always On’, ‘Soft Body Hard Dreaming’ and the terrifyingly intense title cut are like visits to a rave inside a paranoid microchipped brain, while ‘Rubber Boy’ presents electro-industrial funk sung by a caged mutant. On the more restrained tip, fluorescent ballads like ‘Hollow’ and ‘Quiet Anger’ evoke the feeling of slipping into a fugue state at an all-night convenience store. This is European nightlife imagined as biomechanical horror
