Human Strange is a project from the Phillip Stosberg-Adam White duo, two artists from Chicago. Although not super well-known, they managed to release a new album and Finale is definitely worth getting to know by every fan of the shoegazing rock music.
First thing you notice is clearly White's vocal: not only peaceful, more like whispering, atmospheric and adding to the album's extreme ethereality. If you don't believe, just listen to the finish of the great opening track Faux Real. But this is not all, the same vocal can be very subtle and very unsettling, sounding like taken from soul music or stolen from Drab Majesty.
The music that goes together with the vocal is a non-imposing, very much alternative but also peaceful rock. There's some experiments there, some guitar noise, but first of all it's a perfect background for the vocal and charming songs.
Finale costs 8 USD.
