Kontravoid
The brainchild of Cameron Findlay (Ex-CRYSTAL CASTLES, Ex-PARALLELS). The name belongs on a limited-run cassette circa 1980-something, the type of tape buried in lost upstate dustbins of analog electronics, wedged between CABARET VOLTAIRE and DAS DING. The dark Industrial and New Wave influences are strong on Findlay’s project: His voice is scary, like an echoing underwater growl – but the underlying pop melodies always afford a degree of breathing room.
