Genre/Influences: Electro-Pop, Wave-Pop, New-Wave.

Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl, Cassette.

Background/Info: Korine is an American duo from Philadelphia driven by Morgy Ramone and Try Frye . They last year released their second album “The Night We Raise” on  Born Losers Records (US), Data Airlines (France) and Other Voices Records (Russia).

Content: The sound and influences of this band are clearly getting us back in the midst of the 80s. This is pure New-Wave carried by melodic synths and carried by guitar play. The songs perfectly reflect the spirit of the 80s. There are only 8 songs featured, which also reminds me of the typical vinyl-albums from the past. 

+ + + : If you’re in search for innovation, you better avoid listening to Korine. This band is clearly devoted and passionate to the 80s New-Wave music. You can hear it in some simple, but essential effects and details awakening old New-Wave ghosts. The main strength of the work is the melodic and carrying side of the choruses. And a good chorus often is the essence of a good song. I especially like the first half of the opus.

– – – : The tracks are pretty similar so a little bit more diversity would be a little extra.

Conclusion: Korine sounds like it was seriously contaminated by the 80s virus, which is for sure a cool and enjoyable sickness.

Best songs: “Fate”, “Cold Heart”, “Cast”.

Rate: (7).

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
