Com Truise – Iteration

/

So it is with “Iteration,” the third full length album from the Synth God Com Truise – a.k.a Seth Haley. Nearly 5 years since his last album release, Com Truise continues a loose narrative that follows the epic journey of an eponymous synthetic astronaut and his perilous travels through space and time to a far flung galaxy. This last update to the saga, “Iteration,” finds him falling in love with an alien girl and their attempt to escape a foreign, hostile planet.

David Grellier, aka College, is a synthwave pioneer. Whether you know it or not, he is likely one of the major reasons you even listen to retrosynth music – unless, of course, you were around for the first generation of synth music. Hell, it’s not a stretch to say College’s work is, in part, why outlets like NRW even exist.
