San Diego based electronic/synth-pop artist Nicky Venus delivers his debut EP in the shape of “Little Runner”. The 6 song offering blends synthpop, electronica, EDM, new wave and brings to mind mid-80s Depeche Mode with the essence of 70s Bowie meets TV On The Radio and LCD Sound System. The lush, yet minimal arrangements and deeply brooding vocals come across less sinister and more in the vein of a classic crooner visiting the age of Black Celebration with the millennial melt-downs circa Sound of Silver.
