The Strangest Things is unfortunately as bland as its predecessor was glorious: All pretty pastel colors, Plain Jane-ing the songwriting right into Blandsville.
A blend of new wave, Goth, and electronica. Lead singer/songwriter Rogue’s voice comes across as inspired by the drones of Gary Numan with a hint of Peter Murphy.
Podstar’s melodies are – like all good emo-inspired pop-rock – achingly beautiful, but catchy enough to get stuck in your head all day and make you enjoy it.
