Blue Images is an amazing new Electropop act on Scanner! Their sound features both more danceable, but also moodier ballad-like tracks with a very distinctive, melodic sound – combined with dark and moody vocal stylings. Their debut includes two tracks with guest vocalists Reagan Jones of Iris and Jürgen Engler of Die Krupps. Blue Images is the creation of vocalist/keyboardist Alex Virlios and was born out of his desire to develop a solo side project of his own work, while he was still a contributing member of other acts (CTRL, Provision…).
Blue Images in its inception dates back to 2013 when the first melodies of this debut were written. Over time, and in many different locations, the music of Blue Images took shape and in 2016, the project integrated the production expertise and creative input of fellow band member Brad MacAllister (formerly CTRL and Low Technicians). In its final form, Blue Images is a two piece music project that captures the electro/synth sounds of the past with new and innovative beats for music genres of today and the future. Blue Images is inspired by the influences of bands such as Camouflage, OMD as well as Wolfsheim, Seabound and various others. Blue Images is currently based in the Greater NYC area of the United States with representation in Germany.
Released late May 2018 on Scanner.
