Neil Armstrong’s ‘In the Borderlands’: A Nostalgic Journey Through Love and Loss

“In the Borderlands” by Neil Armstrong Neil Armstrong steps onto our blog stage for the first time as an artist. His music pays tribute to the icons of the 80s, including The Cure, Tears For Fears, Pet Shop Boys, and Howard Jones. Oscillating between the realms of Synth-Pop/Rock and New Wave, Armstrong’s transnational work, fluctuating between Spain and Scotland, is expressed in his latest piece, “In the Borderlands.” The song takes us on an introspective journey through the nuances of human relationships, unfolding the complexity of interpersonal dynamics . It exposes these nuances on the operating table of music, bringing them to life with a nostalgic touch reminiscent of the 80s, thereby endowing the work with a soul. The arrangement, inspired by the musical giants of that era, is a testament to Armstrong’s exceptional talent for composing and arranging songs.

"Fuzzed" by Easy Jane

Easy Jane

The band was formed in 2018 by Charles Debras (Belgium) and Yara Nammour (Lebanon). Rooted in 80s / 90s vibes, mostly in a post-punk orientation, the music they write together is driven by similar world circumstances and ideas they share in common. Their ways and influences compliment one another through music and lyrics orientation.
After the release of their first experimental album "Manic Mood", Easy Jane released their second album "Play" in November 2021 with an ever-changing approach and a maturing collaboration, with passionate musicians and producers from Beirut.
Album PLAY was recorded at the Tuneforks studio Fadi Tabbal in Beirut.

Fuzzed (Album "Play")

Wann immer ich "similiar like Joy Division, The Cure, ..." lese wird's für mich interessant, so auch in diesem Fall. Easy Jane, eine Band, sprich eine Collaboration zwischen Charles Debras (Belgium) and Yara Nammour (Lebanon) haben ihr neuestes Werk veröffentlicht. 
Inspiriert vom Sound der 80er und 90er Jahre und eben genannten Bands lieferten Easy Jane Mitte November ihr Album "Play" ab. Darauf zu finden "Fuzzed", "The tune Fuzzed is the sweet song of the album", wie sie sagen. Bitter Sweet & dark, die Stimmung, Melancholie gekleidet im feinsten dunklem Gewand mit leichter Post Punk Tendenz. Die Affinität zum Genre nicht zu überhören.
Die Färbung zieht sich durch das gesamte Album "Play" und vermag ein wenig an Joy Division zu erinnern. Der Opener "Into the dark" , the sweet "Fuzzed" sowie das pittoreske "Creeping Shadows" die grandiosen Highlights des Longplayers.
"Play" von Easy Jane definitiv "a dark hidden gem", eine Reminiszenz an die alten Tage, ein "must" für Liebhaber des Genre und für all jene welche das Genre neu entdecken wollen.
