Wage’s debut EP is a four track chunk of thoughtfully crafted, but sufficiently/lovingly damaged, weirdo pop. Daniel Luedtke (ex-Gay Beast) and Ana Raba (ex-Goatflower) create everything using only a couple of synths, a drum set, and a headset microphone—giving the songs an efficiently powerful style. These songs are approachable earworms, but their jagged synth melodies, smart lyrics and dynamic rhythms give them a depth that I truly love. Edition of 50 home-dubbed chrome/Type II cassettes. Screen printed j-cards by Daniel Luedtke.
