“Signals” shows a synth-tinged post-punk sound from Vancouver-based act RE/GEN. They released their first full-length, Talk to the Past, this month. The album and this track in particular show a tendency for gripping, suavely rhythmic verses with nonchalant post-punk appeal, growing into a melodic synth-laden expansion during the chorus as the post-punk guitars remain. A spacey final minute caps this one off nicely. In touching on post-punk, synth-pop, and dream-pop with balanced precision, RE/GEN show a sound worth digesting with melodic and nostalgic allure.
