Algorithms For Happiness [LP]

Sydney's The Argon Room have trimmed their line-up and widened their horizons on Algorithms For Happiness, a concept record that follows a lone survivor drifting through space. It wrestles with the strangeness of life in a vacuum, the meaninglessness of time, and the push and pull between hope and dread. The sound runs from brooding, cinematic atmospheres to psych-tinged jangle and slow-burning, anthemic climaxes, with echoes of The Church, The Cure, David Sylvian and Bowie.

LP

This is the Australian import pressing on black vinyl, a small-run release from an independent band well worth discovering if you like your indie rock widescreen and a little melancholy.
