Having lived in Brooklyn during the short life and death of Electroclash, I thought I had heard enough eighties influenced synth-pop to last me another twenty years. Lately, that sound has subsided for a more guitar heavy indie sound that I have embraced with open ears. This is why I was surprised to slip Shitting Glitter's Free Alongside Ship into my player and realize that the eighties haven't gone anywhere and it isn't a bad thing. Shitting Glitter, an L.A. based trio (Amy Crosby, Devin Tait and Brandon Glen), constructs undeniably queer pop with its playfull synthesizer beats, evocative lyrics and striking vocals.
