    The perfect amount of weird makes this jazzy, retro-electro pop record succeed. With lyrics revolving around a technologically obsessed society and a minimalistic cover reflecting Nielsen's recent foray into art.
    The jazz imbued synths and near-falsetto vocals remind me of Shamir, but with a pretty "dead" voice.

    It's often a little too wacky and silly for its own good, but overall Personal Computer is a fun collection of weirdo funk pop.
