[INDIE] Scanning a press release sent by the synth-pop project Basic Printer, a few keywords emerge: Radiohead, Zelda, Neutral Milk Hotel, and pumpkin soup among them. Like a fine cup of pumpkin soup, Basic Printer combines all of their influences—ingredients if you will—into something smoothed out and totally new. There’s a weirdness inherent in the music—songwriter Jesse Gillenwalters exaggerated facial expressions tell the story as much as the over-the-top synthy, drum machined sounds and dreamy lyrics, which makes the live, in person experience critical factor in understanding the Nashville, Tennessee-based project. Basic Printer comes to Buffalo’s Mohawk Place on Wednesday, April 11 with local support from indie rockers dreambeaches, and synth pop band Humble Braggers.
