Thomas Powers — A Tyrant Crying in Private (Self-Released)

The way you feel about autotune is, perhaps, a generational marker. If you came of age after the 1990s, it probably sounds like home to you, lisping, warbling, flickering in that half-human, half-cybernetic way that has defined pop and hip hop for more than a generation. But if you hit your teens before digital sounds took their place in commercial music, it might sound false and artificial, a sign that whoever the artist is behind that rack of computers, he or she can’t carry a tune independently.

And okay, I’m old, and I generally don’t like autotune, of which there’s a ton on this first solo album from the Naked and Famous frontman. But these songs are so lush and emotive and humane that I’m willing to overlook it, even acknowledge that its lost-in-the-machine fragility is part of the appeal here.

Consider, for instance, the dream-pop-ambient-dance concoction called “Li,” in which Powers duets with fellow New Zealander Chelsea Jade. It pulses insistently, but dissolves into tissue delicacy, the mesh of faintly altered vocals billowing like translucent colored scarves in the sun. “I’m a tyrant/crying in private,” confesses Powers, as Jade echoes him through hiss and static, and though there is a certain amount of artifice involved, it bolsters rather than denatures the emotion in the track.

Powers enlisted Boygenius’ Julien Baker for a couple of long-distance collaborations here, and his voice and hers intertwine with sinuous sweetness above the syncopated thump, thump, thump of “Empty Rooms.” She also sings on the opening “Little Lungs,” the disc’s loveliest and most emotionally resonant cut, with its oscillating string throbs (orchestrated by Rob Moose) and thoughtful, querying piano. There is a pensive, lonely core to these songs, however abundantly they enfold. “You leave me breathless, breathless,” sings a not-quite-human voice, as a baroque string quartet erupts in velvety lavishness. There’s spirit here and vulnerability, hedged in by dance floor beats and silky commercial pop hooks. The song keens and yearns like the most exposed confessional songcraft and no amount of digital alteration can obscure it.

Another indie classic that I almost forgot about, the synth riff is very unique, I can recognize it from a distance , also, their vibes remind me a bit of another band from those times, which is MGMT.
