Pictureplane

Add Date: July 19 

Artist: Pictureplane 

Album: Thee Physical 

Label: Lovepump United 

Genre: Electronica, electropop 

Comments: Pictureplane is the brainchild of Denver-based producer Travis Egedy, and his third LP might be his best and most diverse effort yet. Thee Physical covers a lot of ground: dark electronica that brings to mind Crystal Castles (who have also released material on the Lovepump United imprint), shoegaze pop (especially on "Post Physical", which could have easily turned up on Hooray for Earth's True Loves) and, as Pictureplane has become known for, lots of danceable, well-constructed, synth-heavy pop.

Thee Physical is very impressive throughout, but start with tracks 1, 6, 7, 5 and 8.
