Dat Politics' new album Blitz Gazer is an exhilarating reboot in the band's career. Entirely recorded in Berlin in 2011 by the newly formed duo, this new piece will certainly give satisfaction to the electro-maniac fanbase who will find in these 12 tunes their share of synthetic 80's hits, catchy loops and bouncy drum machines. Less expected, but pleasantly surprising is their ability to turn the voltage level down by chanting neon lite robo ballads. Some dreamy melodic breaks rise in a rhythmic electric storm. We explore a brand new aspect of the band's wide influences and possibilities. Blitz Gazer is a magnificent patchwork, a dynamic and fanciful mixture that only Dat Politics could have pulled off.
