After dropping a series of quality EPs, Munich-based producer, part-time DJ and Permanent Vacation label co-head Tom Bioly is back with his debut album, entitled “A Call For Romance”, under his TB moniker. A great ride from start to finish, the nine-track record finds TB delivering new romantics, inspired by influences like The Cure’s “The Holy Hour“, Boards of Canada’s late ’90s electronica, Miami Vice tropic percussion and Angelo Badalamenti’s “Twin Peaks”. Acid drops, string distortions, lushed melody bits, hushed robo vox and washed space guitars are being layered and sprinkled over machine beats and disco drums. Here’s “Drive”, one of our favorite cuts from the record. Ride with us.
The “A Call For Romance” LP is out now on Permanent Vacation. Buy it here.
