CEO | B+
Wonderland (Modular) upholds the Sincerely Yours crew’s knack for vibrant unpredictability and luxuriously plastic soundscapes. It’s a kaleidoscopic candy-box assortment of outrageously bubbly schaffel-pop (the title cut and the delightfully baroque “Whorehouse”), plush pseudo-orchestral chill-out (“Harakiri”), manic techno (“Ultrakaos”) and, in the gloriously melodic “OMG,” a slow-mo stutter-snap declaration of synth-pop solidarity: “We’re in this together like Bow Wow Wow.”
