Alex Cuervo has been rattling skulls for years in punk and garage bands, The Hex DispensersThis Damn TownBlacktop and Feast of Snakes. In 2011, he released two solo EPs under his own name on Trouble In Mind and Red Lounge Records exploring his interest in darker, synth oriented punk. Since then, the Austin, Texas native has not only honed his skills on the synthesizer, but constructed this 13 song suite of instrumentals that owe a serious debt to the pioneers of late seventies horror soundtracks by those including John Carpenter, Italo-prog masters Goblin and the work of German pioneers Tangerine Dream. Espectrostaticout November 19th on Trouble In Mind, unfolds like the soundtrack to a lost horror classic with its pulsing synths and ominous passages inferring the unleashing of an ancient horror, creating a Lovecraftian musical journey. This music is made for the night and all things that reside there-in. Listen below to album track,“Smokeface Appears,” and watch the video for “Consulting The Necronauts.”

“This self-titled debut presses hard on all the right John Carpenter/Tangerine Dream buttons at first, yet it isn’t long before Espectrostatic follows it’s own path to similarly moody greatness, as the project’s post-rock and ambient touches begin to leave their mark. A debut chock full of promise.” – Rue Morgue
