Some quality this guy's voice has annoys the ever living fuck out of me. Trax are okay, I guess, but again seem like filter disco via Target commercial.

he has what i'm gonna classify as "emo range"

ofc i am down

lol

Something about his voice keeps reminding me of Ben Folds.

my frame of reference is hellogoodbye

"emo range"

He sounds guide vocal-y to me but I don't mind so much in this context

he has the voice of ben folds and the phrasing of paddy mcaloon

The voice is not in my general wheelhouse but I can handle it and a bunch of the tracks are instrumental anyway. Good album

on first listen he sounds like howard jones. dude seems to be going for the glossier end of 80s synthpop so i guess his vocal references come from those records. i'm even reminded of paul carrack at times.

he's mentioned prefab/mccaloon as an influence in interviews ftr

this is pretty good. wonder what happened to this dude

speaking of vapordudes making great 80s-style dance music...we should maybe have a thread for George Clanton, his just-released album is incredible

theres a few posts about it in the indie pop thread of all places, feel free to make a thread, it's a great album
