Album Review: Blip Blip Bleep- Like Track Stars by Katie Rosenbrock
Released in June, Like Track Stars is the debut LP from the indie electropop trio, Blip Blip Bleep. The band establishes their sound right off the bat, the first few notes of the opening track reminiscent of the sounds of the popular memory challenge game, Simon. Except unlike the game, the band uses the sound to create a more appealing and cohesive melody that manages to draw the listener in. By the time the drums joined in and the vocals chimed, “I just wanna rock now baby,” I was immediately bopping my head along to the beat.
The album maintains a steady pop sound, created through the use of both guitar and synthesizer. On tracks like “Already Pretty,” the trio does a beautiful job of combining the two, creating a sound that is just the right mix of electric, pop, and a hint of rock. On the other hand, tracks like “Don’t Forget (Woo)” (a favorite of mine) and “Rewrite the Scenes” really highlight the electronic component of the band’s sound.
While I might classify the album as more of an upbeat, electric dance album, the title track, more of a pop ballad, actually slows it down a bit, creating a nice balance for the album as a whole. The album comes full circle at the end, with high energy remixes of the first two tracks, “Rock” and “Freak You Out.” Definitely an album worth checking out if your a fan of electronic pop.
