Our Take

The Utopia Strong's latest offering, "International Treasure," is a whimsical journey through a sonic wonderland. Comprised of Steve Davis (yes, that Steve Davis, of snooker fame), Michael J. York (Transglobal Underground), and Kavus Torabi (Gong, Cardiacs), this supergroup brings together a unique blend of electronic, psychedelic, and experimental sounds that defy categorization.

From the bleeps and bloops of "Konta Chorus" to the epic build of "Ascendant Here On..." this album takes the listener on a cosmic adventure unlike anything else in the music scene today. The musicianship on display is top-notch, with each member showcasing their talents in a way that feels both organic and otherworldly.

The production on "International Treasure" is equally impressive, with lush synths and trippy effects swirling around the listener like a sonic whirlpool. It's impossible not to get lost in the layers of sound that the Utopia Strong have meticulously crafted.

Overall, "International Treasure" is a bold and exciting statement from a band that continues to push the boundaries of modern music. Whether you're a die-hard fan of electronic music or just someone looking for something new and exciting to listen to, this album is sure to satisfy your cravings for sonic innovation. So grab your headphones, strap in, and prepare to embark on a journey to Utopia and beyond.

About the artist

The Utopia Strong

Utopia Strong are a cosmic force to be reckoned with in the realm of psychedelic synth music. Comprised of legendary musicians Kavus Torabi, Michael J. York, and Steve Davis (yes, the former snooker player turned DJ), this trio has taken the music world by storm with their unique blend of retro synth sounds and mind-bending visuals. With Torabi's masterful guitar work, York's intricate synth arrangements, and Davis' unexpected transition from snooker tables to synthesizers, Utopia Strong create a sound that is as captivating as it is otherworldly. Their live performances are nothing short of a sonic journey through the far reaches of the universe, complete with pulsating lights and mind-altering visuals. Their debut self-titled album, released in 2019, quickly garnered critical acclaim and established Utopia Strong as a force to be reckoned with in the world of experimental music. Tracks like "Moonchild" and "Brainsurgeons 3" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend electronic and organic elements, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. In a music landscape oversaturated with cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured hits, Utopia Strong offer a refreshing dose of originality and creativity. So take a break from the mainstream and immerse yourself in the sonic landscapes of Utopia Strong - your ears will thank you.
