Hilux

Recommendations from any of you out there who stumble upon this blog are always welcome, and a recent one was for Oakland artist Hilux.  New album "Nine White Moons" is kind of hard to pin down, an experimental synth pop record of sorts that juxtaposes multiple different sounds into one sometimes icy, sometimes soothing cohesive unit.  Elements of darkwave synth, post punk, New Age, R&B, and more churn and swirl together, setting the often dark atmosphere for this concept album about the tragic Greek myth of Persephone.  Listen to "Vernal Dawn" below and get the cassette here from the artist.
