You can't be retro when you've been there. Adventure Set's Mark Pothier and Ken Scales made a comeback in 2011 after a 20 year hiatus, releasing a single and an EP. And then things got quiet again for a bit for the Boston electronic pop duo. They are back with Gazebo, a four-track EP featuring three originals penned by Pothier and s surprise cover of the Nirvana classic Come As You Are.
With their Eighties synth sound - with New Romantics vocals thrown in for good measure - they ride the coat tails of the current retro boom. Producer/mixer Stephen George helped them out with the recording in his Gimme That Sound Studio in upstate New York, adding a Depeche Mode meet the Pet Shop Boys gloss.
Gazebo can be filed under guilty pleasures. Cheesy a times, but with earworm quality. Don't miss the shout out to David Bowie's Five Years in Witness.
Gazebo is a self-released EP. Buy them from their website.
