Our Take

Ah, BERLIN BLONDES, the self-proclaimed synth-pop pioneers from the early 80s. Putting on this album is like taking a time machine back to the days of big hair, shoulder pads, and neon lights.

Their music is a blend of Bowie-esque glam, with a touch of new wave coolness that makes you want to dance like it's 1980 all over again. The Complete Recordings 1980-81 is a trip down memory lane for those who remember the golden days of underground pop music.

The catchy hooks and infectious melodies make this album a must-listen for any music aficionado looking to expand their collection. Tracks like "Science" and "Mannequin" showcase the band's flair for combining slick production with introspective lyrics.

However, there are moments where the band's lack of originality shines through, feeling more like a carbon copy of their contemporaries rather than trailblazers in their own right. Despite this, BERLIN BLONDES' charm and charisma are undeniable, making this collection a fun ride from start to finish.

Overall, The Complete Recordings 1980-81 is a solid addition to any synth-pop enthusiast's library. So, grab your neon leg warmers, put on your best Bowie-inspired makeup, and dive into the retro world of BERLIN BLONDES. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Berlin Blondes

In the vibrant landscape of post-punk revivalism, Berlin Blondes reign supreme as the enigmatic trendsetters who effortlessly blend nostalgia with modern sensibilities. Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, the quartet burst onto the music scene in the early 2000s with their infectious beats and shimmering synth melodies that have left audiences in a trance ever since. Lead singer, Max Monroe, with his hypnotic vocals and magnetic stage presence, leads the band with an air of effortless cool that has earned him a cult following amongst music lovers. His bandmates, drummer Lola Lyndon, bassist Finn Fisher, and guitarist Quinn Quinn, both complement and challenge his swagger with their own unique talents, resulting in a harmonious blend of sound that is as electrifying as it is innovative. With influences ranging from classic post-punk acts like Joy Division and The Cure to contemporary indie darlings like The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys, Berlin Blondes have carved out a niche for themselves in the crowded music landscape, effortlessly straddling the line between homage and originality. Their latest album, "Neon Nights," is a masterclass in sonic storytelling, with tracks like "Electric Dreams" and "Midnight Stroll" delivering pulsating rhythms and anthemic choruses that will have you dancing until dawn. With their signature blend of wit, charm, and talent, Berlin Blondes are poised to take the world by storm and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. So grab your neon outfits and get ready for a wild ride with Berlin Blondes - they're about to become your new favourite band.
