About

Named after a '60s anti-establishment group from Detroit, <i>Trans-Love Energies</i> 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 <i>Satan’s Circus</i> 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.
