Birmingham Electric

Birmingham Electric delivers a trans-Atlantic jolt of modern synth-pop: hooky analog lines and a front-man raised on Factory Records. Produced by Berlin synth legend Mark Reeder (Factory/MFS) and OMD’s Malcolm Holmes—with Peter Hook and Marco Pirroni on the new LP—the project rewires New Romantic and post-punk energy for today’s dance-floor.

“If you are a fan of eighties synth-pop, then it’s about time you got to know Birmingham Electric” ... “Uptempo, melodious, catchy and very danceable” ... “Just can’t get enough of these tasty 80’s synthesizer sounds made for today’s dance floor” - OOR Magazine (Netherlands)

“Drawing on the likes of OMD, Depeche Mode and New Order, Netherlands-based Andrew Evans wears his influences on his sleeve with belligerent pride ... excellent debut album” - Electronic Sound Magazine

“...captures the spirit of the classic synth era”
“...joyous, uplifting and rhythmic”
“...rich synth hooks over a classic electro-machine beat”
“The songs reflect the ups and downs of modern life but throughout, melodies and counterpoints are omnipresent, pointing to OMD, YAZOO and early DEPECHE MODE”
