Programática by Hablemos del Alma Cassette

Hablemos del Alma, the solo project of Chilean artist Angelo Santa Cruz, expertly blends his unique approach to synthwave with early electronic pastiche, paying homage to both the synth-punk of Suicide and the New Wave leanings of Depeche Mode. While complementing the metallic melodies and textures, Santa Cruz’s enigmatic voice sounds both synthetic and magnetic.

With its energetic drum patterns and dark, minimal synth arpeggios, Prográmatica could be the long-last soundtrack for a gritty sci-fi flick set in a desert dystopia, as sensual as it is destructive.
