Radio Transmission Failure seamlessly blends 90’s alt-rock and dreamy shoegaze with rich textures and fuzz heavy tones. Drawing clear inspiration from genre pioneers like The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer, it artfully balances thick, crunchy guitars with pristine, clean vocals and lush synth layers, crafting a sound that’s both nostalgically retro and boldly futuristic.
Anakin’s commitment to cohesion shines through on this album. Each track feels like a signal from the same satellite; linked by current isolation and distant memories highlighted by tone and layering through clean yet warm production. “Overdue” and “Transmitter” pulse with urgency, while “Earthless” drifts blissfully, balancing heavy riffs and atmospheric calm.
Radio Transmission Failure is not just an album; it’s an immersive listening experience. It invites repeated spins, as new textures and lyrical nuances reveal themselves with each pass. Anakin continues to sharpen their vision of sci-fi-infused alt-rock, and this record stands as their most refined and emotionally resonant transmission yet.
