I want to tell you, the music on Luke Tangerine and Kate Pending’s new album “Tomorrow’s Dreams of Yesterday” is exceptional. When those washes of sound started, I could tell I was about to explore new and exciting territory in electronic music.
It’s particularly fascinating because the album feels like a reflection of the past and a look to the future. Creating Tangerine was a true achievement – the analog synths, retro drum machines and instant melodies will make you remember the best times in electronic music. Then, you’re treated to slick modern flair and Kate’s enchanting, raw voice which leads the music to new and untouched musical territory.
Every tune unfolds more and more subtle elements with each time you hear them. You might get lost in the stunning rapid descent of songs like “Sonic Youth” with their loud chords and upbeat rhythms. Immediately after, you’re whisked off to the bright vibes of 1980s electro in songs such as “Ipanema Rendezvous.”
The entire kaleidoscopic experience is held together by Kate Pending’s amazing vocals. You won’t find another voice so unique – one moment she’s singing with angelic melody and the next she’s showing you raw feeling you wouldn’t expect. Every line and song, she dances between remembering the past and sharing her true feelings which is simply enchanting.
The album feels like it brings together the endless promises of electronica that have been building over the years. So many iconic pioneers are heard in Luke and Kate’s music, with their unique touch making their work stand out. It seems both from the past and from the here and now.
No matter how deeply you’re invested in electronic music, this album is pure joy to listen to and should be heard in a setting that gives it space to breathe. Let Luke Tangerine and Kate Pending lead you into the ‘future past’ on their album “Tomorrow’s Dreams of Yesterday.” That’s what music that propels life and gives hope sounds like.
