Snare by Battery Operated Orchestra
From the shadows, each song emerges like a warning. In the exquisite handmade CD artwork mysterious figures are waiting and watching. A spy plane looms overhead while taught wires hold it all down.
BOO’s cold-war inspired SNARE traces echoes of a divided past into an uncertain future reverberating with the errors of history, and it does so in an electrifying way. Lush 70’s and 80’s analogue synths combine with solid beats and urgent songwriting that comes like a clarion call from the not too distant future: don't get caught.
"Snare sounds terrific... Allow yourself to be caught."
-Backseat Mafia
"Melancholic synth-pop with a polished atmosphere that never loses its sense of human scale."
- Bandcamp Essential Releases
"Timeless retro for both heart and mind. 9/10"
- Elektroskull
"Perfect Wreck is what Blondie would have sounded like if they hung out in late 1970s Sheffield rather than New York."
- Fourculture
"An album of the year? Quite possibly. 8.5/10"
- Louder Than War
