about

‘We like old and we like new’. These lyrics from Scenius’ new single High Low seem to reflect well the duo’s ethos that vintage synth sounds can be given a modern twist. An approach which is taken to yet another level here with synth lines that are reminiscent not just of the early masters (Kraftwerk, Foxx, Eno, Numan) but also of the second wave of electronic greats - think Underworld Second Toughest in the Infants era or even some of the more atmospheric Chemical Brother’s stuff.
High Low also confirms Scenius’ ability at crafting captivating tracks even when they defy the classic verse/chorus pattern.

lyrics

Right
I may come, I may go
I like highs and I like lows
No one seems too sure
Why they lie about the right and wrong

I’m surprised you love the way we’re taught to
And lose as much as we had found
How did it feel, I should have told you
How far I reached beyond the bounds

And it seems like I turned on the wrong side
When you enter my dream all smiles

Mind
I may come, you may too
We like old and we like new
No one’s keen to show
What they hide about the highs and lows

Altered
Made the high low
Altered
High low

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
