Atlanta quartet, Slushco, is a synth-driven indie rock band which creates highly saturated melodies by using spiraling analog synthesizers, sugary vocals, and dirty guitars. Having formed towards the end of 2004, Atlanta natives Brian and Michael along with Olympia, WA transplant Aaron and New Yorker Tim, have already come a long way in developing and nurturing Slushco's signature sound. After breaking out with their mid-2005 EP, Slushco has garnered growing success with their upbeat, often hilarious live shows. For their sophomore EP, titled Clouds, Slushco comes back with a concept album which links ordinary objects with everyday problems and feelings, to an array of far off landscapes and imagery of sparse surroundings and modern technology. Brian uses his sweet voice to push spacey intros into driving choruses, meanwhile creating universal sing-alongs of 'oohs', 'ohs', and 'badabahs'. Michael's seemingly multitudinous array of synthesizers provides a playful and sometimes dream-like atmosphere that helps to break the band out of many common compositional molds. Aaron's drumming is heavier than one would expect out of a pop band, and provides a greater punch to each track. When combined with Tim's bass (and/or synthesizer), a bouncy rhythm is created.
