For those who don’t find the 80s electro-cheese backlash particularly riveting, NYC trio Cascading Slopes may be a more interesting (and stylish) electronic alternative. A project started by The Drums’ keyboardist Jacob Graham, Cascading Slopes is a "purist’s project" (not even samples are allowed in their tracks) that doesn’t distance itself from the pop format, but approaches it with a minimalistic attitude that references the rigorous German ancestors of the genre, rather than the many artists who climbed the charts in the 80s with their baroque tunes. See them live at Cameo on April 27.
