The latest offering from Glasgow, Findo Gask brought their snappy electro-pop to the Edinburgh Voodoo Rooms as part of the Limbo events showcase.
With as many synths as those that could play them, the music had a bright and cheerful electro quality that occasionally gave way to a harder rock edge. All brought with a healthy dose of effects that could rival Mario Kart. Lead singer Gerard Black’s voice rises over and above the complex melodies, sounding almost melancholy and soulful over such bright tunes. While not a contradiction, it does give the music a new dimension that sets it apart from your average electro pop act.
‘Doritos’ and ‘Va Va Va’ were the definite highlights of the set, both tunes demonstrating a fantastic texture of sound and inspiring delighted cheers from the crowd.
Playing their hometown in the coming week with Stricken City at the Captains rest and with a new 7”, OneEightZero, out for download now, this is a band with big aspirations and some charming tunes.
