The Epidemics

Gated drums and icy synthesizers meet soaring double-violin. A bizarre, fascinating collision of Indian classical virtuosity and 1980s new wave pop.

1986 · Sub Pop

A cold, neon-lit exploration of pop artifice through the lens of technical virtuosity.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition from a traditional double-violin flourish into a heavy, booming 80s drum beat on the opening track.

Steve Vai's aggressive, squalling guitar solo cutting through the icy synth pads of 'Situations'.

The way Caroline's detached, almost robotic vocal delivery creates a strange tension against the intricate violin melodies on 'No Cure'.
