A Finnish blizzard comes

From out of the blue 'Ten After Dawn' releases an awe­some EP called 'Best Of Both Words'. Skandinavian fans of 'Solar Fake' already had the chance to see the band live as open­ing act. 'Ten After Dawn' began already in 2009 and des­pite some releases, the band remains rather loc­al known. With 'Best Of Both Worlds', the trio has now laid the found­a­tion to con­quer the dark Synth Pop scene by storm.

The electronic storm in 4 acts

Melody: From the begin­ning, the club sus­pi­cious Hit 'Melody' pulls the listen­er in the spell. The sound is really rich and full, but has a clear beat and a catchy melody. The voice of the sing­er 'Teemu Salo' is phe­nom­en­al and fits per­fectly on the gloomy Synth Pop track.

Gone: More like a breeze, the mel­an­chol­ic song 'Gone' feels like. The tempo is here in the bal­lad area, but the track is quite intense and emo­tion­al. The main reas­on is that the samples and effects are used little, but very well staged. This cre­ates a truly griev­ous and tra­gic atmosphere.

Scarlett: The begin­ning of the third num­ber 'Scarlett' is some­what remin­is­cent of Minimal Electro. But then it changes quickly to a genu­ine mid-tempo Synth Pop song. The beat def­in­itely invites you to dance and the chor­us stays in your ear for a long time. Especially the stut­ter­ing bridges are well done.

Tell Me: The last song is a dynam­ic and very atmo­spher­ic song that sounds very warm and ana­log des­pite the elec­tron­ics. Subtle and almost inaud­ible here are gor­geous gui­tar sounds inter­woven. The acous­tic pres­ence of the gui­tars is revealed only briefly dur­ing the bridge part. And here, too, the gentle voice of 'Teemu Salo' flat­ters the song in full grace.

Hysteria after the tempest

We are already excited of the upcom­ing long-play­er by 'Ten After Dawn'. I guess so far that it will also reviewed by us. If you are a Synth Pop addict, then you should keep an eye on this band. We think some­thing big is com­ing here. We strongly recom­mend to buy the EP 'Best Of Both Words'.
