Synth and SensibilityBy Adriane GoetzPublished on July 09, 2008 at 4:01amSince the dawn of its invention, music fans have held the synthesizer in direct conflict with the drum kit. While these opposing camps may never lay down arms, Phoenixs Maypop is out to show that this town isnt too small for the both of em. Describing itself as Rocktronic Indieca, Maypop is heavily influenced by 80s darkwave groups such as The Cure and Depeche Mode, but also displays a 90s alternative element (à la R.E.M. and Smashing Pumpkins) that prevents it from sounding too wussy.
