If you’ve seen either of Panel of Judges, Love of Diagrams, Spider Vomit, ii, Kes or Hi God People over the past five years, chances are you’ve encountered electro-pop wizard Mark Barrage.
Barrage, a regular fixture in Melbourne’s indie since 2003, will launch his second album Delays this month. Two years in the making, the album was DIY-produced at home with synthesizer, tapes, sampler, drum set, guitars and basic timeline-edit audio software. It signals a shift from the overtly lyrical, heartbreak-obsessed territory of his debut into realms of “hard sound, dance timings, band-ish arrangements and bleary-eyed nighttime sensation”.
Still, we are assured, Barrage’s haunting melodies and pop song format remain.
