Anders Manga

Left of an All-Time Low
by Scott Hefflon

Dark electronic, part dancefloor stomp, part mellow, rich croon. I always gravitate toward synthpop (admittedly, the dark side is presented here) cuz I don’t fully appreciate the “art” of blipping and blooping noise collages, so Anders Manga suits me fine. This might be “opening band” obvious to diehards, no VNV Nation signature to drop your jaw, but “Bad Girls Go To Hell” is tasty cheese like Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record).”
