Tender Cruncher’s debut takes the Alesis Micron synthesizer and pushes it to its limits to create a slow-grooved, dark pop odyssey. What you’d expect in a dimly lit gothic club in a center city, Tender Cruncher touches on current pop tendencies, taking a jab at them while hinting at styles from the past. The best minimal dance party you’ll have this year, Tender Cruncher will keep you bopping to the left and right while hanging your head low.
