every time I listen to the Crystal Axis I like it more,
in answer to the premise of the thread : yes me.
not heard any of the new stuff, but damn, this week i am loving the crystal axis so much.
classic big production synth pop brilliance.
'time' era elo never sounded so upfront.
this album hits so many of my sweet spots ..

Uncanny Valley really is very very very good

Agreed! Which makes me wonder why everyone continues to not care about this band.

I'm guessing because it leaked about three months before release, meaning everyone who would have bought a copy just DLed it instead.
cosigned on astonishment @ the sustained collective apathy towards this band; they're fucking phenomenal. at this point I think Crystal Axis + Uncanny Valley is a better one-two album combo than In Ghost Colours + Zonoscope, although IGC is probably the best album of the 4 listed.

what I really can't figure out is why they haven't put the new album on Spotify yet. at this point just monetize it however you can, y'know?

Just seems to be a bad setup all around. This band may quite possibly have one of the more tuneful rock/electronic/dance hybrids going, too.
