About Gretta Gunn
Very promising debut of industrial-edged synth-pop from one Gretta Gunn of Kildare, Ireland. A-side, ‘Bop’ has an acute pop-potential, featuring Gretta’s supremely confident vocal welded to saw-toothed synths and blocky Italo-rock beats. Flip over and the speedin’ ‘Metal’ exposes darker roots in vintage Industrial synth music fromFront 242 to DAF but again, distinguished by Gretta’s arresting vocal. Slowing down to the acidic squelch of ‘Drum Real’, those vox are a beacon of harmonised purity amidst sleazy synth squirms. RIYL Factory Floor, The Soft Moon, Zola Jesus, Sumerian Fleet, Dollskabeat etc. Flip over for the frenzied menace of “Metal”, which takes on less of a gilt-edged pop feel to the A Side, with gun-shot drum hits and droning synths dominating the soundscape as Gunn reverts to Blondie-style rap mode. It’s noisy and defiant, seemingly showcasing a darker side’s to Gunn’s sonic arsenal. “Drum Real”, meanwhile, exudes a similar electro-pop noir charm to the title track, with squelchy acid bass and the occasional echo-laden squeal from Gunn that would make Ida No proud. All of this is wrapped in beautifully presented artwork which exudes a kind of smoky, classic charm, with Gunn taking on a Barbarella-esque sultry superhero persona on the cover.
