daegor Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Daniel Victor (Neverending White Lights) is releasing his long shelved 80's dark synth-pop album, Neuromancer, on Oct 30. Pre-orders will be up in the next few days, and 500 hand numbered copies are being pressed on vinyl at $20 a pop. In the late '00's Daniel Victor (Neverending White Lights) wrote and recorded an album as an experimentation in indie-synth-pop-noir-wonder. Originally intended as a duo with Lexi Valentine (Magneta Lane), the two mutually decided to sever their working relationship for personal reasons before production began. Victor continued on to realize the album in full, writing, recording, and performing the songs alone over the course of eight weeks in the winter of 2007. The album was built with elements of shoegaze, dream pop, dance, indie, and new wave by pairing vintage drum machines and synths with lush distorted electric guitars and retro-fitted punk bass lines. Using rich atmospherics and brooding emotive vocals, the end result is an eleven-song offering in themes of bittersweet love, lust, and tears - overshadowed by the reality of those very things during its conception. Due to unfortunate political circumstances the album was shelved with it's fate in question, until now. This debut will see a release in 2012. Notable influences: David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, The Cure, M83, New Order, Smashing Pumpkins.
