pelifics is much like a sinister smile
risky business, 1983
Pelifics has managed to bring italian pop to the northern lights of Oslo, Norway. Every Pelifics track beams with visions of pop locking dancers or blonde haired vocalists in orange mini skirts. Beyond the italo homage the tracks have a bleak undercurrent that creates a unique depth to Pelifics‘ music.
Usually Pelifics is the one being remixed, but he has brought an echoing darkness to the original Astrolabe’s “Leave the Station.” It feels like spiraling through a dimly lit tunnel then being sprawled before an abandoned train yard. There’s a definite haunting loneliness vaguely familiar to the aura sifted from an Echo&TheBunnyMen track. I am loving it’s gothic-romantic eighties vibe.
