To be honest, it was the packaging that lured me into buying this one: the LP comes with two posters, a booklet, and a tissue signed, lipstick-kissed and tear-stained by “Cindy Savalas”, complete with certificate of authenticity (would hate to have purchased a bootleg by mistake). Sounds like Maria Minerva on Adderall, or one of those recent Chromatics lineups in a narcoleptic haze. The music is aerosol-based synth-pop, a very light and dreamy form of electronic pop balladry and occasional dance grooves. They did a song together called “Cindy Savalas” on a Palmbomen album, and Cindy (the “group” I guess?) is an extension of that, creating this fairly immersive world of a lonely heartbroken teenage girl’s pale-pink bedroom circa 1986. It’s the work of Kai Hugo (aka Palmbomen) and vocalist Blue LoLãn, who is amazingly credited as a “filmmaker, actress, model and health expert” on Instagram, a chunky stew of influencer talents. You’ve got Poppy, you’ve got Sophie (who I guess has been confirmed as a living person at this point), and among others, now you’ve got Cindy, too. Electronic artists sure have been obsessed with the intersection of pop stardom and plastic artifice over the past few years, often leading to the creation of mysterious mononymous guises, almost always female.
