BOAN
From the ashes of now defunct Texas darkwave trio Medio Mutante, Mariana Saldaña (//TENSE//) and José Cota (SSLEEPERHOLD), are back as duo BOAN. The pair resurrected their hardware-based dance pop with an updated sensibility that is both dark and modern. Expressed in equal parts English and Spanish, vocalist Saldaña delivers cold yet catchy hooks over Cota’s infectious synth lines and aggressive analog beats. In the tradition of bands like Absolute Body Control, Fad Gadget, and Snowy Red, BOAN continue to expand their own addictive take on electronic minimalism while perpetuating the timeless aesthetic that has kept MM’s cult following alive and raging.
