To continue our exploration of the current Dutch electronic scene in its broadest sense we present a 7” by Sololust one of the bands from the “Kamp Holland” compilation (Enfant17).
On “Kamp Holland” Sololust presented a somewhat EBM influenced dark elektro track. On this 7” he shows a different side of the project. Sololust is equally good in creating pounding dark elektro, as techno influenced minimal electronic track as in truly excellent synth pop.
“Total Loss” / “Sight Shuffle” is simply superb synth pop of the highest possible level. The A-side is a moody electronic pop song in a style the artist himself calls emotronics. It has that special Wolfsheim kind of quality but it is darker then Wolfsheim has ever sounded.
The B-side fits perfect with the A side only that it is an instrumental piece which gives the track an ambient touch. This is an excellent track for playing in your car while driving at night. Nighttime music at its very best!
On this 7” Sololust sounds like a bastard love child of Jim Morrison jamming with Porn.Darsteller and backed by the band of Q Lazarus on electronic instruments.
