Info: | Washington, DC-based post-punk
darkwave outfit Social Station presents the eagerly expected second
album on Young and Cold Records. It features 9 new original tracks and
a remix by IAMTHESHADOW (Cold Transmission Records). Social Station is
Paul Todd and Jacob Sebastian, a father and son duo. With a passion for
analog synths, hypnotic guitar, classic post-punk bass lines, and
undeniable melancholic vocals, they have forged a dark yet catchy sound. Building on their self-titled release on Y&C, the new album continues with the familiar Social Station themes of introspection and struggle. Written over the 2 years of the pandemic, the music centers on the bass playing of Jacob Sebastian, guitar and vocals of Paul Todd, and introduces another creative force: Natalie Simona. Featured on the album cover, Natalie adds one more family member (Jaocb’s sister) to the song writing process, contributing music and lyrics to the opening track “Never Free”. With a cathedral-esque synth providing a sepulchral entrance, already the album opener swiftly opens the lid and takes flight, if one whose restless flurry remains contained inside its gothic structure! On “In the Fallout” you hear that delicious push and pull between the tug of darkness and the insistence of its opposite, as if the band are intent on exhuming light from the clutches of the pitch black. All this maintained balance isn’t a gimmick or a trick of a trademark, it’s instead the essence of craft. That Social Station have come this far in mastering with ‘just’ their second album, leaves you speechless, and a whole lot happy! |
