Apr 7, 2016Give this multiple listens to hear the ingenious use of the analog synths and the raw drums. There is so much going on this album. This is refreshing and highly entertaining. Can not stop listening to it. Best album so far this year. Any fan of great 80s music should appreciate.

May 24, 2016Despite references to hard drugs and depression, Boeckner’s songwriting betrays an unconventional joyfulness, marked more by the relief between emotional peaks and valleys than by its strict verse-chorus-verse structures. In fact, in my opinion, this is the first project of his that measures favorably against the solo work of his more cultishly-beloved bandmate and rival.

May 4, 2016Boeckner's melodies are precise and the choruses show moments of bright clarity cutting through the foggy verses: not unlike fleeing a bleak reality to find asylum in a dream. He hasn't sounded this committed and angry since leading Atlas Strategic a decade and a half ago.

Apr 1, 2016Blue Wave is not about moving forward, but using the past works of artists to create something fun and mildly pleasurable.
