Interesting electronic bill at the Highline Ballroom on 10.19 involving 3 NYC bands. As we already covered Boy Crisis‘ super catchy disco-pop and Body Language‘s post-pop (yeah, forging new genres is fun!), we’ll focus on The Golden Filter‘s… uhm… mystic-tronica? This duo, which released their debut CD "Voluspa" earlier this year, plays sparse but edgy dance music tied together by ethereal female melodies. The tunes’ dark aura (reminiscent of New Order and other progressive electronic acts,) the mysticism of the lyrics, and their overall visual approach (centered around a exotic imagery like the desert, the sea, and assorted symbolism) seem to justify our genre neologism. Dancing, afterall, can be a mystical experience. After the BMI/Spin sponsored show at Highline Ballroom the band will open for UK funk-tronica masters UNKLE at Webster Hall on 10.23.
