Between Beau Devereaux’s three projects (Samantha Glass and Victor Portsmouth being the other two), Roan Linden boasts some of his more “accessible” work, and I use the term lightly. On “Interactive Personalities,” off the new Linden tape Commercial Investments, you can actually make out the lyrics, which is certainly new territory for many of Beau’s works. The track also carries with it a catchy, “cold wave” leaning synth and percussion rhythm, but it also retains a very deep and dark vibe, which you can find all over the Glass and Portsmouth discography (especially in the latter).
The video appropriately features grainy homemade video that suits the tune’s scorched earth vibe. Now that the scorching summer is winding down (at least over in Seattle), this Roan Linden jam really gets me worked up for that Fall Harvest vibe, yo. Commercial Investments is available now, along with two other Golden Cloud Tapes, and you can purchase HERE. Also, bonus track “His Living Ghost” below:
