Bradley Pink Pill Program. Release Date : 2004. Label: Independent. Rating: Andy doesn't dig rating stuff. This disc has a kind of dark electro Daniel Ash/Love & Rockets feel. Low bassy thuds carry much of the melody, crashing electrodrums. It's definitely dark, lurid, saucy... The first track, "She Don't Call" is skipping like mad, as much as I'd like to give my two cents. Maybe a bit of a Dandy Warhols vibe in the drugtalk and simplistic, bored lyrics. It's pretty cool though, drug-party music. Dim and swirling. If not for the vibe of catatonic, drug-induced trip-outtery this thing has, I'd be concerned about its repetitive nature... but it sounds like background/sountrack music, so that's not something that needs to be a big concern after all. "Aleen Obscene" gets light and pretty, with intermittent submarine pings. I really like the selection of random noises in this album. They're really well-placed and original. To draw a recent comparison, the electronics coursing through this CD harbour the same engaging and well-thought-out composition of the Bright Eyes Digital Ash in a Digital Urn record. And since Bright Eyes is the master of whatever he sets out to do, that should give you an idea of how competent this disc is. It's oddly relaxing. The vocals are very flowy and trancelike. Strings come in here too. Be still my heart... knees down melting. While my thumbs might not be worth as much as some, this album gets both of mine up... and there's a touching, string-laden version of The Cure's "Lovesong" later on... Song of choice : "Aleen Obscene" - such a pretty song. -Andy Scheffler Elsewhere Bradley website Published : March, 2005.
