"did I make this up? Please tell me / did I mess things up / every single day..."
"Eye Rhyme" is a synth pop cajole by London/Utrecht based three piece, Render Ghosts, a blistering beautiful piece of tactile, kinetic energy with upfront beautiful and pristine vocals by Tamara Van Esch. This is synth pop done up right, organically endearing, yet unabashedly synthetic in construction, the synths don't try to hide as other instruments, the sort of 8-bit sound blends with early 80's Kraftwerk-ian tones, and sound wonderfully in the box. The overall aesthetic brought together by Esch and Tom Wilson's lyrics and Iain Chambers' synth soundscapes bring to mind an amalgam of iconic 80's artists like Aha, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, Berlin and maybe stirring in some aural aspects of more contemporary artists like St. Vincent and Tomine Harket.
Intriguing and beautifully captivating, "Eye Rhyme", is a wonderful introduction to Render Ghosts.

Render Ghosts (London/Utrecht) make soaring, kinetic tunes that take synth pop into the 21st century.
This is the first coming together of three musicians who individually make wildly different music — a singer-songwriter who until now has sung in Dutch, a classically-trained composer of chamber pop masterpieces, and a sound artist who uses buildings like Tower Bridge as instruments.
The result is Render Ghosts, who inhabit the spaces between Gracey and Everything Everything, Erasure and St Vincent.
