OPTIMUS PROM (self-titled album released on Tundra Dubs, 2011)

                   

For me Optimus Prom sounds like what would happen if you broke into your local arcade after hours and turned that sucker into a full-on bumpin' house party. 808's bang hard while Mrs. Pac-Man sparks and glitches in the distance drenched in PBR. With refined, dancish beats and ghoulish vocal samples this release is bordering constantly between pop-experimentation and respectable party music, and never comes off as pretentious by fault of favoritism. Personal fav on here 'Axe Party' sounds like the cool kids got a hold of the Devry Technical Institute music and made it into a postmodern anthem, complete with ghoulish bass that crawls up your spine and synths that say boOoOO and blow blunt hits in your face. So many great moods here all done up to perfection, this is one to check out for sure. Totally blissed-out with a little something for everyone these vibes are almost like a microcosm of the future of independent music. Released via Tundra Dubs you can pick it up here http://tundradub.bandcamp.com/album/optimus-prom in your choice of limited CD-R or digital download at a very fair price. Tundra is nothing but quality, cutting-edge tunes - check out their other releases. SO LEGIT ♥
