Cheap Talk - Let's Get Electric - 1987


When it comes to 80's-inspired synth pop bands, Los Angeles-based boy/girl duo Cheap Talk nails it! Unfortunately there is very little information about them out there on the blogosphere which means they're not getting nearly the amount of attention they deserve, which is upsetting cause their 9-song debut album, Let's Get Electric - 1987 is an absolute gem. What impresses me most, aside from their excellent song writing abilities and infectious pop hooks is that this album is remarkably well produced, using vintage synthesizers and drum machines while recording it to give their sound that genuine 80's touch. As one fan put it, this is the best 80's album not made in the 80's. Needless to say, this album is truly a rare find, guaranteed to evoke feelings of nostalgia. Just press play and I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Let's Get Electric - 1987 is available now on Bandcamp.
