Dark, funky, washed out electronic indie with a subtle melancholic eeriness about it and traces of disco. Very reminiscent of MGMT and AIR. Heavy emphasis on production value and tone to convey that indie/electronic feed. All of the tracks were very synthpad driven and i do believe that the mood Solid Gold is trying to capture was captured very effectively. Track 3 is a brilliant cover of the song "Danger Zone" from the movie Top Gun, but done in a very trendy Glofi style. The final track (and my personal favorite) is a remix of the second song on the EP that gave off a very dark tribalesque 80's trance vibe that built up to a pseudo shegaze dance, then collapsed into a very morbid outro, evocative of a funeral.
Although the album contains very solid song writing and production, the genre may be questionable and not digestible for most people due to its weirdness.
