The 1981 are an Oakland duo consisting of Adam Widener and Bobby Martinez. Their debut album Move On is a buzzy power pop record with layers of guitars, synths, organs and vocals over a melancholy ache.

Move On, is a 12 song story-set-to-music about a fictional couple and their relationship falling apart. Written and recorded by Widener and Martinez in their rehearsal studio the pair spent months tracking alone before recruiting Phil Lantz (Neutrals, Chime School) to re-record drums on several songs and Yea-Ming Chen (Yea-Ming and the Rumours) to duet on “In Your Eyes”. The record was sent to the Southern Hemisphere for Matt Bullimore (ex-Legs, ex-Mantles) to mix in Christchurch, New Zealand and Mikey Young (Eddy Current) to master in Melbourne, Australia.

I love this twangy 90's inspired and in some part shoegaze album. When you get an opportunity sit, listen and bath in the 90's indie glory. Fantastic album. Welcome To The Sea
