SRL From the first note, this album time-warped me back to the 80s!
While playing it, my wife asked, "Hey, that's great! Who is that?" She usually doesn't express an opinion, so that's quite the recommendation.
Anyway, this isn't just derivative nostalgia. These are great songs that'll keep you listening. Favorite track: Love Beat.

Thunderlips Such a classic electro pop album. I bought it again just to add it to my Bandcamp collection. Matt Thomas is a star from The Mavis's to Video Video! Favorite track: Planet Of Storms.

©ough©ool This is an amazing pop record. Forlorn vocals, honest lyrics & flat out amazing synth work, makes this record highly repeatable & on constant rotation.
This isn't simply pop, or synthpop for that matter, this is legitimate quality music. A great soundtrack for your ups & most certainly the lows. One of my top 10 albums of all time Favorite track: Planet Of Storms.

Love Beat 04:50
LOVE BEAT I’m counting the steps I’m feeling the breath I’m losing my mind Just stealing your time I’ve always walked the night alone Now I’ve crossed into a danger zone Fighting ghosts and midnight demons Oh yeah Carnivals and trick or treater’s Oh yeah Venus and Mars are ours tonight If we can get it right As If our love Was what It was before As If our love Was what It was before As If our love Was what It was before As If our love Was what It was before I’ve rattled my faith I’m breaking the chain Caught deep in the void Left out in the rain I’ve always fought to stand apart Now I’m dealing with the danger card Howling wolves and bonfire creepers Oh yeah Trailer parks And party seekers Oh yeah ( Matt Doll / Byron St John )

FOREVER TOMORROW Stole me down to the underworld Kinda bought me in a fashion The rain kept beating on my tender skin Frozen in time and passion Smashing candy under the railway bridge Hold up the subway Dig it kid You said never leave me again Never hurt me again Never lie to me again Forever tomorrow The city lights calling The city lights calling The city lights calling Me to the center of it all The city lights calling The city lights calling The city lights calling Me to the center of it all I want to tell my brother But he is in Japan I’d like to call my mother But she won’t understand I see a new reflection I hear the eagle call And If I ever come back to you Steam on the window Train on the loose And If I ever get back to you Knife in my pocket Cuttin’ the fuse (Matt Doll / Byron St John)

Genesis 04:23 video
GENESIS Ooh we will shine A distant beacon In the night Tears of the past They had tied you To the mast Show me your magic Your space-age love I’m a dream believer For your Genesis Genesis Genesis Genesis Genesis Genesis Love lost in the tempest Days of nothing to do Can’t get back to the feeling babe I know you want it too We swim to shore From the shipwreck From the storm Oh Oh tonight (Matt Doil / Byron St John)

NOT GONNA DIE The stars aligned But not enough With sudden impact You took my love The shadows darker The cupboards bare Thought I was dreaming Beneath the nightmare You held my body For the last time Thought we would always be Together deep entwined You had your reasons And they were good But every action I miss understood You and I collide Everything we have is dangerous Kiss me for another day And we’re not gonna die You and I betrayed Everything have is pleasure Hold me for another day And we’re not gonna die Forget the nights When I was mean If you just listen to The little words between The glass is broken The cupboard’s bare You kept on talking Right through a cold stare Call up the hit man Just one more time And he will tell you That It’s destiny in rhyme Nobody told you And it’s not fair Sun keeps on shining the vampire’s lair Angels in the monsters And there’s diamonds in the dirt And we can’t tell Anything apart (Matt Doll / Byron St John / Angelo Ainalidis)

Flames 04:15
FLAMES I’m in the dark waiting by the telephone I’m in the street underneath your window We fell apart waiting for the overthrow You shot my heart but baby that was years ago My Heart is in flames ah ooh It’s all been a game ah ooh My heart is in flames ah ooh Stay off the phone Keep off the streets Pull down the blinds Under the sheets Open my eyes, Cover my heart Forget my name While the world falls apart Search the desert ’til I find a mirage oh oh oh Ride the milky way and Jupiter stars oh oh oh All the people gonna rise up from their pain My Heart is in flames ah ooh (my heart’s in flames) It’s all been a game ah ooh (just a bitter game) My heart is in flames ah ooh (my heart’s in flames) It’s all been a game ah ooh Just a bitter game Oh Oh Oh Oh…… (Matt Doll / Byron St John)

OH TOKYO! Oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo When I think of you my heart goes boom I can’t wait ’til we are back together soon You may be so far away from me I will wait for you If you will wait for me In the darkness I can see your light In the daytime or in the dead of night I don’t want to ever be apart from you I just want to be a part of you (Matthew Sigley)
8.
MAKE YOU MINE Can you feel emotion Can you feel the beat My heart would cry an ocean Just to fall at your feet I meant to say that I’m asking If I could be your boy So I can give you satisfaction That you are meant to enjoy Ooh ooh ooh I only wanted to make you mine Ooh ooh ooh I only wanted to make you mine Ooh ooh ooh I only wanted to make you mine Ooh ooh ooh I only wanted to make you mine Can you feel addiction Can you feel my need Our love was science fiction Until you said you agreed I walk alone after midnight Like the moon and the dark Oh I’ve got to find my lover Won’t you disembark A place for the sinners We’re only beginners My fear in the night Goes by (Matt Doll / Matthew Sigley)

Blue Kiss 05:08
BLUE KISS Blue kiss Broken-hearted Hotel Across the ocean Exit us oblivion His love is a universe Nothing really matters I’m not yours in cold light blue Dissolve with each touch My tears into the sea Nothing really matters Moon is low I turn to stone And fall to pieces below a fire sky I sail across the midnight To reach the great divide Still I can’t escape your light So scared I may lose my mind Beneath the shield of ice Beats a heart of fire Nothing left at all Only desire (Byron St John)

NEW ELECTRO POP ACT VIDEO VIDEO RELEASE PLANET OF STORMS ALBUM /

In the beginning, all relationships are based on attraction and a storyline of the heart. And love beats the same for everyone when you are lucky enough to get it right.

New act Video Video relies on the well-known narrative of melodic vocal pop songs that were first written in their relative acts The Blow Waves and The Mavis’s.

The rebirth here was formed when The Blow Waves’ core couple Matt Doll Thomas and Byron St John started a duo playing alongside Matthew Sigley to form a smaller lineup that became titled Video Video.

Planet of Storms their debut album is about how the heart can survive the weather of a lifetime of love songs and past relationships.

Video Video write to old flames and those lovers they have left behind on their journey, as a way of keeping them in the story—and warning their audience that they are not forgotten.

Second single ‘Flames’ is written from the point of view of a reliable Romeo standing underneath your window—alongside fellow space-age love songs, they look to the skies to ask the stars for alignment.
Though the action here takes place where city lights blur constellations—when strangers meet in the night—and during the times when it sometimes is not right.

Planet of Storms asks us to remember our midsummer night’s dream without regret, and makes a brotherly promise to protect each other in a lifeline against suicide in ‘Not Gonna Die’.

Here in Planet of Storms the brokenhearted will learn to swim in their own sea of tears—and survival of the species is simply a game of rewinding a well-loved movie.

Video Video replays the romance offering those same tasty kisses of lyric phrases, from Matt Doll Thomas, to help us make peace with the past.

Song ‘Genesis’ writes the new chapter that grew from survivor stories of a shipwreck left after the storm. “’Genesis’ is the bittersweet feeling of loss and renaissance mixed together. It is about noticing the beauty in the darkness," said lyricist Matt Doll Thomas.

As dream believers of magic and romance Video Video use 1980s electro dance to style their own moustache club pop. Uniquely island Australian, with the energy of teen millennium Video Video’s Planet of Storms is an easy listening indy-pop release.
