Bogan Atmosphere by Strange Stains
"I like the sexual connotation surrounding the image of the name Strange Stains. But it’s not a sexy image, it’s more post-sexy. Strange Stains isn't postmodern - it’s post-sex."

"The next song seems to have audio clips mixed with Pong type sounds. You can hear someone ask "Can you show me on the map where I am?" and the answer to end the track is "You are on the wrong road". That reminds me of the scene in "Tommy Boy" when the gas station attendant tells David Spade he needs a new map but it might not be from a movie and that's just why I'm thinking that it is. Big, distorted blasts come out and then we move onto organ drone. It's like church but, you know, without all the talk about God. Haunted vocals make their way into the background and this has a sound which is spatial now as well.
A more industrial feel now takes us through the remainder of the songs. At times it sounds like Garbage. Dark skip beats turn to big beats and whooshes and then the vocals are just really spliced in as well. It can have a sound which is triumphant as well, which is odd considering how dark this feels most of the time. It's not something you might be able to dance to but there is just enough darkness to make it not quite pop. Is "goth pop" a thing yet because that could describe these songs. (Though the Bandcamp page describes this as "goth wanna-be pop" which is not quite the same thing)"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY? Does the first track on this release make you feel like you are in a eighties underground movie? The one in which everyone has goofy plunked up hairdos, dope in their heads and there is lots of good times to be had? The ones in which bright colours are happily plopping around on a diverse amount of spandex, suited to dress excitingly bad attitudes that won’t take shit from no one, but are all over the place?
Oh.. you didn’t say anything like that at all.. well that’s alright, as I haven’t said these things either. I just wrote it down, cause that’s what I felt & that’s the most purest you can get reaction-wise."
