Trans-Love Energies

Trans-Love Energies

Named after a '60s anti-establishment group from Detroit, Trans-Love Energies was mixed in Michigan by Death in Vegas’ frontman/producer/songwriter Richard Fearless after the tracks were recorded in Shoreditch, London. It opens with the aptly titled “Silver Time Machine,” picking up where 2004’s Satan’s Circus left off—with Fearless’ whispery vocals quietly crooning like Spiritualized’s Jason Pierce over minimal dronescapes and sublime hints of acoustic folk. The following “Black Hole” shifts gears as propulsive drums drive a tune that sounds like My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields lending his guitar wizardry to Primal Scream. Krautrock topographies are explored and conquered on “Your Loft My Acid” amid a trippy marriage between analog synths and repetitive beats over which Austra’s Katie Stelmanis lends her icy inflections. “Scissors” worships at the altar of Neu!, with a mellow motorik beat pulsing throughout. Ending is “Heroes,” a backmasked tune that plays like a psychedelic tribute to esoteric Stone Roses b-sides.
