Record/Vinyl + Digital AlbumA one-off side project featuring Surplus 1980's Moe Staiano and shoe designer Karen Cravatto. A synth wave project with miniKORG synths, vintage drum machines, real drums, bass, and vocals of Karen sounding like a new wave Patti Smith behind a retro beat singing about cross passages in tunnels, being put on hold for a long time, pushing dogs in strollers, and inconsiderate humans who shop at Macy's who act like privileged c*nts. Influenced by Automatic, Gary Numan, ESG and Bill Nelson's Red Noise. We hope you like and enjoy this one-time project. And if it's really sells out, we might make another record, but don't push your luck, kid.

about
A one-off side project featuring Surplus 1980's Moe Staiano and shoe designer Karen Cravatto. A synth wave project for the small masses complete with miniKORG synths, vintage drum machines, real drums, bass, and first time vocals of Karen sounding like a new wave Patti Smith behind a retro beat singing about cross passages in tunnels, being put on hold for a long time, pushing dogs in strollers, and inconsiderate humans who shop at Macy's who act like privileged c*nts. Influenced by Automatic, Gary Numan, ESG and Bill Nelson's Red Noise. We hope you like this one-time project. And if it's really sells out, we might make another record, but don't push your luck, kid.
