This Vision have – out of nowhere, apparenlty – produced some of the finest synthpop I’ve heard in a very, very long time. I downloaded a couple tracks last month thanks to a tip from Hits In The Car but never got around to listening until tonight. And oh my, what I have been missing!
It’s full of melancholy, beautiful melodies, and gentle touches. It’s the sort of music that makes you think of long car rides on rainy nights, of the feel of a long-lost girlfriend’s hand in yours. And more than anything else, it reminds you of the delightful way that synths can somehow feel so much more personal than far more “natural” sounds.
They’ve got a four-song EP available at their myspace. Each song is better than the next, so you’ll definitely want to head over and give them all a listen.
