Background/Info: No New Dawn is a
new name hailing from Detroit (USA). “Double Dream” is the solo-project’s debut
album, which is now available in all imaginary formats.
Content: “Double Dream” takes us back to the inspiring
sonic realms of 80s electronic music. The sound treatments, melodies and even
drum sounds are instantly evoking the magic of the early synth years. The
vocals have been mixed in the background and rather sound as an extra effect on
top of the music. The album features 7 songs so in the end it rather looks as a
mini-album instead of a real full length.
+ + + : The retro approach
of the work makes it magic! No New Dawn awakens the good-old 80s electronic
demons. I can’t compare the album to any other formation although you can
easily recognize the 80s influences. The production of the vocals is an
interesting aspect and here again reminding the sterile way of singing used by
numerous 80s artists.
– – – : There’s not a lot of diversity between the
songs. This kind of production brings no real surprise, but innovation isn’t
clearly the main focus here. I however regret the work only features 7 songs.
Conclusion: No New Dawn is not
exactly what I would call a ‘hot’ newcomer, but “Double Dream” is an
interesting record revealing some potential. So I’m wondering how this project
will evolve.
Best songs: “One Fading Into
Light”, “F.A.D.
(Flight of the Angel of Destruction)”, “The Path”.
