Last summer we met electronic artist Com Truise via the soothing hiss and nostalgic, luxuriously funky balm of his free Cyanide Sisters EP. We tagged him an “unsigned guy who will soon be signed,” and the Ghostly label quickly made good on that by adding the NJ native to the likes of Gold Panda, SVIIB, Matthew Dear, and Pale Sketcher on their increasingly impressive international roster. Com’s debut LP Galactic Melt is due this summer. Its first single is the wonderfully titled “Cathode Girls,” a romantic beat-jammer binding New Order to Boards Of Canada to all manner of ’80s synth styles. You might hear some likeness in approach to Salva’s “Wake Ups” a few minutes in, too.
These tracks come from the “Fairlight” 7″, recently released as a Melt primer:
The Galactic Melt LP is out 7/5 via Ghostly. (The art above is from “Fairlight.”) If you like all that, you’ll enjoy what Truise did to Twin Shadow’s “Castles In The Snow,” too:

This guy is killing it. I’ve loved everything I’ve heard of his so far, can’t wait for the album. Three thumbs up. (What, you don’t have three thumbs?)
En Joy Able.
I liked this guy from the day you posted “Sundriped” and every lame person bashed it.
“cathode girls” is enjoyable and certainly more interesting than “sunriped”, “beta eyes” is straight boring, and “polyhurt” is basically a less interesting version of “cathode”…it’s almost the same note progression.
i really really hope you don’t think i’m lame by pointing this out. com truise is decent but compared to other ghostly acts like lusine and gold panda, he’s kinda lame.
Yeah, it all is pretty same-y, and I’m not enjoying his new EP as much, but I just REALLY like his debut EP, and “Sundriped” was one of my favourite tracks (as well as “BASF Ace”). I can’t think you’re lame now, you like Gold Panda :p.
Love those kind of guys. Reminds me of Capitol K in a way. (The go your own way)
