Meet Resistor: Steve Goldberg’s new synth-pop project
FILED UNDER: Artists, Downloads, News, Recordings, Scene, Resistor, Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, synthpop
We just got word over here at The Key that Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies - the Brian-Wilson-fronting-Fountains-of-Wayne orchestral indie ensemble that warmed our hearts with its Flood EP last year – is on hiatus following its gig at Kungfu Necktie on Friday. The frontman tells us he’s using the downtime to move from symphonic pop to synthpop, and has created a new monicker to do so: Resistor. Listen to and download their debut single “First World Problems” below.
