It doesn’t happen every day to come across such a quirky and peculiar project as Synthia Looper. In fact, you might not be ready for it. Its musical force is pretty groundbreaking, delivering eerie and haunting vibes drenched in experimental and gritty electronica. Crowning it all, Synthia Looper’s vocals create a stark contrast with their musical framework, exuding a bright, almost bucolic tone. Like if an angel had fallen to hell, and would then share nostalgia and pain through music, looking for resolution and healing.
Do we sound dramatic? perhaps yes. Don’t mind us, it’s Synthia Looper’s fault. Her material is just so evocative and disorienting! Having been active for a few years, the project is now growing into the latest American musical outfit to reach international waters. It does so in absolute glory, hypnotising listeners into following the unique creative expression of the synthapien – as Synthia describes herself (part human, alien, and synthetic android).
The project’s first EP collects all previously released singles, and it’s a mesmerising journey into Looper’s mind-bending artistic universe. Introduced by ’Sentient’, the record jumps into gritty and intense territories, delivering distorted, noisy synthesisers and icy drum machines. ‘Brilliant Minds’ takes a more melodic approach, channelling choral-like solemnity, greatly contrasting with Synthia’s celestial vocals. ‘The Ascent’ closes the EP with glitchy and arpeggiated electronica.
