The Overlookers, the duo formed by J.D. Laccasagne (of Dekad) and Creature XY (of Foretaste), are back with a new album, their second, titled "Videodrama". If for the first 2019 album "Teenage Wet Dreams" they took as reference the 50s, with "Videodrama", we travel back in time to land in the 80s. They mention as influences: David Cronenberg, John Carpenter, Stephen King, John Hughes and Rob Lowe & Don Johnson. Musically, their electronic synthpop was already rooted in the 80s and also this time we have catchy melodies, that often sound a bit melancholic, coupled with mid-tempo rhythms. Simmons, as well as other classic drum machines from the 80s, have been used along with arpeggiators and lush synth sounds, and everything helps to create the soundtrack for an imaginary movie made of undercover people, troubled souls, stars afraid to lose their fame, etc... If this would be the soundtrack of an 80s show, it would be for a sort of Miami Vice's dark version, filmed in a cold winter Chicago, rather than in a sunny Miami. The album grows with the listening and if at the beginning I liked more the singles, now with the third time I'm enjoining it all...
