German
industrial/darkwave grouches Girls Under Glass take a trip in the
wayback machine for this surprisingly airy throwback to the 1980’s. Apart
from the icy electronica of their Kraftwerk cover (“Radioactivitat”),
most of “Equilibirum” sounds like the Psychedelic Furs’
long lost disco album. With maybe a few spooky Oingo-Boingo tracks slipped
in. And possibly an Evanesence remix or two, when the female vox kick in.
It’s all very easy on the ears, but a sharp departure from the typical
Girls Under Glass sound. Fans of dark, danceable 80’s rock and
contemporary goth metal will flip their asymmetrical wigs over this, but
the rivetheads among us will just shudder. And then go outside and kill a
puppy. _______________________________________________________
