Alex Cuervo of the Hex Dispensers has a new side project called Espectrostatic. 13 tracks of genre-homage, a la Umberto -- but more Carpenter than Goblin. Great stuff, out now via Trouble In Mind.

The sample sounded great so I ordered the lp. Cheers!

I think the album is only good in small doses and it feels a bit too familiar for comfort. If you're going to go this route, I think Umberto does it so much better. Or better yet, just listen to Carpenter.

I really enjoyed this, I listened to it on Band Camp -- Sometimes I have to listen to something besides Carpenter I ordered up the lp as well -- always willing to grab something as reasonably priced as this...

Ordered.

Listen to it all...

I've also grabbed a copy after seeing this thread and listening to the samples. Thanks for the link!

I've been listening to this for the past month and I have to say I really like it , I also think there is a lot more going on here than just simple carpenter worship, there are touches of Nicolai in some tracks and the album as a whole seems very cohesive.
Just cause it is dark synth stuff it seems way to easy and lazy to just namecheck carpenter when describing it - I know we are all guilty of that (myself included)
It's got some great melodies and stands up to repeat listens.

thenuthouse mentioned Alex Cuervo's other band The Hex Dispensers...Winchester Mystery House from 2009 is one of my favorite non-soundtrack / electronic Lps of the year...so I'm four years late...just check it out
