American synth-wave project, Causeway, is the brainchild of Marshall Watson and Allison Rae. Through sophisticated downbeat melodrama, lyrical motifs of isolation, and an ultra-vivid wall of sound, the two bring a sizzling synth-laden take on the dream wave genre.
Coming to the fore with support from Italians Do It Better, Causeway released their first full length album 'We Were Never Lost' to immediate acclaim, soon landing spots in tv shows Never Have I Ever, and Riverdale.
Fast forward to the here & now and they've returned with an updated sound and a new label relationship with Manchester's Sprechen, on which their new album 'Anywhere' is welcomed to the fold.
The enigmatic duo has brought forth a reverb drenched cosmic journey across 10 tracks. Where narratives of dark & light are conveyed via emotional synthesizer soundscapes alongside captive melodies and ethereal vocals to take you on a diverse and cinematic listening experience.
Hints of post punk, new wave and 80's noir run throughout the album where influences such as The Cure, Cocteau Twins, OMD and New Order are embraced by Causeway's own unique sonic stylings of electronic music neatly wrapped around each track.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Highly engrossing synth-pop project that'll tickle the fancy of any Italians Do It Better lovers out there. Evocative and emotive throughout, it's the perfect pairing of dreamy vox and high voltage synthesizers and makes perfect sense on Chris Massey's Sprechen imprint - which celebrates its 10 year anniversary this year.TRACK LISTING
