Background/Info:
Kasper Hate last
year released its fifth album to date. The German project remains faithful to
ScentAir Records on which they released the first album (cf. “Wolf skill”) in
2014.
Content:
Things
became interesting on the previous album (cf. “Why Live When You Can Rule”), on
which the band showed a more minimalistic approach empowered with some EBM
elements. The title of this new opus is a right choice for a composition
holding on minimalism, but becoming more electro-pop as well. It has something
refreshing, sometimes a tiny experimental as this artist clearly avoids cheap
clichés in the genre, but still danceable.
+ +
+ :
The minimalism revealed on songs such as “You Put A Spell On Me” and
“Divine” both confirm the ‘new’ style of Kasper Hate. The entire production
becomes more mature and especially polished. It also stands for a band that has
found its own sound since the previous album and, which even has something
intimate. The best part of this work stands for refined bleeps, ghost-like
melodies and danceable pop music.

The production of the vocals can still be much better and especially a
few songs where I’m missing more
passion. I’m also convinced this album again is missing a true potential hit.
Conclusion:
The good thing
about Kasper Hate is that this project brings a rather refreshing sound based
upon retro elements.
Best Songs:
“Divine”, “You Put A Spell On Me”,
“Heaven Was Wide – Album Version”, “Bitter Bitch”.
