Com Truise: In Decay Vinyl 2LP

Before he was picked up by Ghostly, Com Truise was making music in his apartment in New Jersey. In Decay collects those early recordings and demos, giving us a taste of what a pre-fame Truise was up to. The 80s synths and nostalgic sounds are present, but we get a glimpse of the producer establishing his sound, toying with 8-bit aesthetics, synthesizer funk and slow burning dance music. Fans of Com Truise might be familiar with the sonic palette he employs but it comes off a bit differently with this release. You’ll be thrown back into the 80s with tracks like “Controlpop,” “Colorvision,” “Dreambender” and “Yxes” asIn Decay was previously only available as a digital release. Now you can finally enjoyonvinyl! Includes free download.
