Filter Distortion, a four piece electro band from Liverpool, have finally emerged from a self-imposed year of confinement in a windowless room. The band set about producing their finest work yet, and have certainly achieved their aim with debut album ‘Transition’. Recorded using just 3 microphones, the band wrote and produced all the album’s tracks before mastering with engineer and producer Daniel Woodward at Liverpool’s Whitewood Recording Studio.
And Filter Distortion have created an album with a great sound and vibe. It has an excellent synth pop sound with some classic 80s sounds for good measure. The live drumming is an excellent touch and provides a great foundation for the basslines and variety of riffs / hooks on the album. The vocals are also excellent and really add to the vibe.
Transition is available as a digital download and limited edition vinyl from selected outlets including Dig Vinyl, Probe Records, Piccadilly Records and mail order via the band’s website.
