about

YOUR LEADER 'THE STARS ARE A LIE VINYL' (BROKEN CLOVER RECORDS/USA IMPORT)

Out of Oakland, California, USA comes the instrumental act YOUR LEADER. This band's latest vinyl album The Stars Are A Lie opens with a great instrumental guitar solo orientated piece titled Use The Hours Don't Count Them, while the synthwave influences come upfront during the following song Bonding Over Pizza. As I am a sucker for anything 80s synth/wave orientated or influenced, this YOUR LEADER is right up my alley. Imagine a healthy mix of MAGIC DANCE, HENGE and a bit of KRAFTWERK, then you're quite close to YOUR LEADER, although there's much more to discover here. 9 songs are included in total on the band's 2nd album, with as absolute highlight the amazing 15 minutes counting closing track AKA that reveals a lot of lovely 70s Symphonic/Progressive Rock influences of the RICK WAKEMAN/MIKE OLDFIELD era crossed with Synth-Wave dominated Nu-Disco that might even appeal to the STRANGER THINGS fans from outer space. However, I must also not forget to mention the massive bass synth and distorted guitar sound during the amazing Projectnnn, a song that on vinyl will blow up your mancave in a sec! I couldn't believe what I heard, as it simply sounds unique and from out of this world! I also love the guitar dominated 80s piece of Thereshopeintheharmonies that makes STEVE VAI sound boring! On the experimental side we find the hip-hop influenced Motherfucking Hill. YOUR LEADER is by the way formed around 2 musicians (I think, as there's not much info on them) called JAKE PALLADINO and ULLOA VICENTE, and this album is just as original as any other BROKEN CLOVER RECORDS release, but I do hope it gets more exposure, because the fans of obscure kraut/synth/wave will absolutely love this YOUR LEADER for sure! The album is available through brokencloverrecords.bandcamp.com and more information can be found at: yourleaderisyourleader.bandcamp.com/album/the-stars-are-a-lie
