Stalker

LP version. Sillyboy lives in an old detached house, above a railway network, in a working-class suburb of Athens called Kokkinos Mylos. This railway peculiarity is the trademark of the home studio "Medicine," a peculiarity which one can easily find in many aspects of Sillyboy's tracks: From urban music and temperamental lyrics, to bass grooves, rhythmic vintage-pop, and at times art-rock orchestrations. The sound of the passing trains makes him feel like he is traveling and the vibrations like he is constantly changing tunes. Staying true to his own unofficial deadline of two years between each album (2010-2012-2014), he does it again here with his third, Stalker. He returns to the retro-pop feeling of his first album, but this time there is a clear futuristic touch. Boasting a compact production, filled with guitar riffs, catchy melodies surrounded by a haunting bass, and incredible electronic atmospheres, Stalker captures his concept of pop music. Memories of people passing by, visions of nights to come - it's all about sex and a place to pretend. Stalker posits a retro-pop approach to everyday life. This is music with a reason and a meaning by a man with passion and a brilliant mind.
