My Review: Some Ember - Held a Fragment of the Moon

 Some Ember - Held a Fragment of the Moon

Take an American from Oakland and bring him to Berlin: something intriguing is bound to happen, come on, let's not kid ourselves, two great acts cohabiting is good news.

Two singles and two Ep's later we find ourselves talking about the third Ep, Held a Fragment of the Moon, which is a satanic Synthwave monolith, biting and not fleeing, residing in its electronic programs, hurling itself into the Darkwave with delightful lightness, while the rhythms pulsate and you are transported into the stiletto heels of the dancing night. Refined, generous, romantic, but always rhythmic, the songs on the Ep are an imaginative portal to what has happened and is happening in those musical territories. Just as a book of poetry placed in the sand remains so, so does this work: however much you deny it, it will emerge...
