This is in my humble opinion one of the best albums of 2015. High-Functioning Flesh is perfect if you're nostaligic bout the 80's, love funky EBM mixed with punk-attitude and good melodies. The perfect combination for me.
HFF is Greg Vand and Susan Subtract from Los Angeles, USA. They have been making music togehter since 2013. They seem to draw inspiration from bands like Cabaret Voltaire and Portion Control as well as a healthy dose of punk. The songs are funky and the sound is a mix of analogue synth sounds and industrial percussions. The voice of Susan Subtract gives it edge, punkiness and agression.
It's really hard to pick a favorite song since they are all good. It's really wonderful to find an album without any real weak song. I sincerly urge you to give this album a good listen.
If this is your cup of tea I also recomend you to take a look at Susan Subtracts earlier band Branes also. A bit more gothic and expeimental, but also interesting.
