eLxAr – Demons (Digital/CD Album – eLxAr)
eLxAr is an Italian duo that, in addition to releasing a multitude of singles, has now unveiled their third album. They deliver a distinctive and personal take on Electro-Pop, transforming it into a melodic, Ethereal, and danceable blend of Space-Pop, featuring captivating female vocals. The songs carry a subtle touch of the 80s, adding an extra layer of charm and nostalgia to their sound. This is an immensely enjoyable album that comes highly recommended. (Rating:7).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
