Com Truise

Com Truise can best be described as melodic electronica that is borderline chillwave. The frontman, Seth Haley, is a master at synth and is heavily influenced by 80s' sounding computer nostalgia. Upon first listen of Cyanide Sisters EP, it becomes abundantly obvious how incredibly meticulous Haley is. He scanned this album for any and all signs of imperfection and as a result his tracks are flawless. He knows what sound he wants and he knows how to manipulate his synth to get it. But there is a difference between a record void of blemishes and a great record, and this one is the former and lacking a little in the latter. This EP is his debut, and that's exactly what it is... a start. He is promising, but after listening to this EP it seems pretty barebones and not creative. At the same time though, Haley shows signs of versatility. He goes from the dreamy-riddled track "Cyanide Sisters" to the heavy and anxiety-full "BASF Ace" to the percussion heavy "Iwywaw" to the classical guitar sampled "Norkuy". In other words, this guy has a lot to offer, it's just apparent he's holding back a little. But that's okay because he is due out with a full-length at the end of this year. I expect better things from this producer with the future release.

There are two versions of the Cyanide Sisters EP. One is a basic seven track that you can download for free here (scroll down the page to find the download link). The other contains a different seventh track and four bonus tracks, but for that one you must pay. I give Cyanide Sisters EP a 3.5/5. Favorite songs: Cyanide Sisters, Slow Peels, and Norkuy.

Best, Jonathan
