Questioning the truth and attempting to re-write what’s been written are the notions encapsulated in Red Eye Fugu’s debut album Watchers. Seemingly infatuated by the roots of science fiction, Enzo Tiano’s electro-pop solo project is fueled with groovy beats and filtered dream-like sounds. The album is a brush fire of thought-provoking tales and the string of events that manifests into our strange reality. Each track provides a glimpse into the mind of a time traveler, a cult member, a truth seeker and a horror movie fanatic. These characters are inspired from fragments of philosophical, political and spiritual agendas hidden behind the curtains of mainstream mentality.
PRESS
morceau du jour - “Watchers carries 10 absolutely brilliant groovy beats fueled dream pop songs, like Night Runner, and will be out September 10th. Check it.”
StageDive - ” This track [Night Runner] is a shape shifting creature that surprises with every listen.”
SpacePack - “The album Watchers is an exploration of electro-pop sounds filtered through the the lens of a dreamer.”
Life Aquatic - “I essentially know nothing about Poster Child except that they have made a pretty satisfying pop song called Backyard Maze. In a lot of ways it feels charmingly naive. Even with the pop infused vocals and the catchy little chord progression, the real winner in this track would have to be the subtle percussion, keep an ear open for it.”
Beachtapes - “Science Fiction-esque retro dream pop from West Covina newcomer Poster Child… Latest track ‘Backyard Maze’ is taken from the upcoming ‘Suspicious Characters’ EP, set for a release early next year. V. Cool.”
Aurora Vibes - ” Enzo’s latest addition, “New Born”, glimmers like a distant star burning in the night sky, it’s piercing synths cut swift and sharp, among vocals that flow both fluently and natural.”
Flashlight Tag - “Poster Child makes romantic synth-pop, perfect for those spur of the moment apartment parties, or the next time you’re trying to ” get some ” with that oh so special someone…”
Oh So Fresh! - “The electro feel is very catchy and Enzo’s voice is perfect for the sound. Listen to Poster Child’s two songs, “Scaptoma” and “Variety of Prey”
Pasta Primavera - “Rich tronics and beats with a rock pop after shave hit all the right pangs for sure. “
dysonsound - ” From the sounds of it, this electro/pop sound is one set to put a little groove and joy in your daily routine. Although the content can be a bit serious, the sound of the EP is somewhat contradictory to the tone of his lyrical topics.”
What’s Good With It - “The track we’re focusing on is “Backyard Maze”, it’s synth-pop fused with electro, super dreamy and charming.”
((((((radiomodular)))))) - “Poster Child (aka Enzo Tiano) brings us from the great city of Los Angeles (CA), Electro Pop melodies and ethereal atmospheres laden with subliminal.”
Ride The Tempo - “His heart pumping songs are full of underlying philosophies.”
Ride The Tempo - “There’s a certain light-hearted playfulness in Newborn and Scaptoma behind two songs that is secretly deeply philosophical.”
Upside Sounds - “Poster Child is hitting the electro pop scene hard with his self-released Suspicious Characters EP, debuted on January 22. Enzo Tiano, the singer/composer out of L.A. incorporates an eclectic collection of sounds into his soothing voice to create a true lounging experience.”
Indies And The Underground - “Watchers,” perhaps one of the catchiest stalker anthems since The Police’s “Every Breath You Take.”
Flashlight Tag - “silk sun.”
