Holland: Beep, Kiss CD EP

It took me some time to figure this out, but Holland is our pal, Trevor, formerly the Sea Saw/Magnetophone guy. Holland is in a similar vein - Kraftwerkian drum sounds, lush analog synths and sad, melancholy vocals. I believe these four tracks were done at the home studio Trevor and Archie (Heartworms) have put together in Arlington, Virginia. This stuff is a great example of what you can do with catchy tunes, minimal gear and careful arrangements. The actual CD is a treat to look at since it's only got as much silver on it as needed to hold the music - i.e., there's a silver disc in the middle of the clear plastic 5" disc.
