Emeralds

After putting out numerous records, cassettes, and CD-R's over the past four years, i finally checked Cleveland trio Emeralds. And what can i say? I enjoyed the shit out of it. "Does It Look Like I'm Here?" is basically a progressive electronic record. It pulls heavily from Krautrock like Klaus Schulze and early Moog artists like Bruce Haack, but also weaves itself in with contemporaries like fellow synth enthusiasts Zombi and Oneohtrix Point Never. At any rate, it's really pretty and sounds like what the future was always supposed to sound like.
