Bleep

Experimental pop purveyor Zac Nelson resurfaces with his first album for Styles Upon Styles, delivering state-of-the-art weirdness in the form of refreshing sonic ideas. Despite their sketch-like nature, Nelson's pop-designs are surprisingly trenchant. His secret: all of their elements are created equal (that includes his voice), and once you discover the thread of melody within his hairball of instruments, effects and machines, there's no alternative but to succumb to its catchiness.
