The album is drenched in ‘80s New Romantic and New Wave’s funky romanticism. Vanish Into You has The Cure all over it—Head on the Door-era guitars, and as a sharp-eared forum member pointed out, the drums too! It also echoes Duran Duran. This is essentially Seven Tiger—their best and most underrated album, where they set out to mix Chic with the Sex Pistols.

Mayhem fully embraces that New Romantic/Early New Wave spirit. Even bands like ABC surface in the layers.

Then there’s Zombieboy! And Killa!—a fantastic slice of glam pop.

Bowie looms large, but it’s Scary Monsters Bowie: ost-Thin White Duke, healthy and playful, surging back to the top with an album that’s energetic, eclectic, bright, and just the right amount of camp/artsy. Her vocals shine in their full range, and the production feels alive—passionate, layered (like Scary Monsters), and organic, unlike the over-polished, inorganic sheen of much modern pop.

Mayhem’s approach to pop is deeply coded in the ‘80s.

And then there is the 90s connection… For another post!

 

Good call on the Seven and the Ragged Tiger reference! Definitely feel that influence throughout

The videos for each of the song have a little loop video. Abracadabra has a the white outfit look with the dancers. It’s minimal but I am playing it on my tv while listening to Spotify. 
 

Get those streams!
