Entry 017 - Futurecop! - Voltrana

 

 

When I first saw the description for this album it was advertised as an ambient synth album. The description made me curious enough to listen. What I got was not ambient synth, but rather an enjoyable synth pop album.

Voltrana is the type of album where I can put it on and forget about the world for a little while. Its simple, atmospheric, and catchy as hell - exactly what I need when the mood strikes. While there is nuance to the album, this does not strike me as the kind of album where I would sit down with pen and paper and do a detailed analysis of the music.

This is sugary sweet pop. The melodies are upbeat and happy, the vocals sing about joy and love, the synths have a bit of a sparkle to them, and the whole package just makes me happy. Synth-pop is not something that I dive into often, but when the mood for something gleeful and upbeat hits, this is one of my go to albums.
