...introduced to tons of old comics artists and watched a lot of films and had this period of hibernation,” Escobedo says. “I wasn’t making any art, but I just had so much new influence and information stockpiled in my head, so when I got back on campus, I had an explosion of art making...

...targeting everything enjoyable and addictive about the pop music of the 1980s, Goldfrapp certainly hits the nail on the head. “Head First” is an incredibly cohesive album, evoking the whole era in all of its glory.
