Synth Rock mostly, with a post-punk feel – specially from the tone and style of the vocals. Most of this stuff just screams 80′s influence, not only from post-punk, like the sort of innocence in the use of synths to make up pretty danceable tracks, probably a footprint of the “snescore” they used to categorize their sound on bandcamp.
New Motive Power from Brazil play a form of electronic rock they call “SNEScore.” The album is full of huge, catchy, bombastic synths and the stellar production leaves plenty of room for them to explode from your speakers. Despite being quite pop-flavored, they stray a bit from typical song structures and keep things very interesting.
Cruz Gongora and A Problem Like Maria are Across Oceans.
Today, their first EP, “Pacific,” comes out!
