about

These two tracks (construction versions) developed into 'She's a Fan' and 'Transparent In Black' respectively, from the EP, 'TRANSPARENT IN BLACK'. I present them here, completed, as standalone songs.

released October 31, 2023

'Sheena Was a Punk Rocker (She's a Fan)' was my first attempt at writing what became the 'Transparent In Black' EP opening track 'She's a Fan'. In the process of is construction I used a lyric from the Ramones' song, 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker' as a placeholder,. What I wrote as a middle section eventually ended up the core for the song instead, you hear this at the end (the Bela Lugosi bits), replacing all the 'Sheena' parts. But I also like this version as an alternative.

'In Her Solitude (Construction Track)' was the first song I wrote for the EP, 'Transparent In Black'. I decided not to use it but employ its structural ideas to construct a new song which became the title track. The chorus in the latter is similar but simplified, you'll hear other similarities as well.

Quirky melodic 1993 electronic pop from France. I love the adventurous atmosphere in the music & the breathy crystalline vocals of RoBERT. A blend of infectious alt electropop with esoteric influences Alien Skin

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
