REVIEW from medienkonverter.de (DE): Der Herbst bietet momentan keine Zeit für die ihm oftmals zugebilligte Depression: fast täglich landen Infos bzw. Promos zu neuen Alben aus dem Genre des Synthpops auf meinem Schreibtisch, so dass die Flut an interessanten Veröffentlichungen allenfalls in oberflächlichen Kurzreviews abzuarbeiten wäre. Doch manche CD verdient es, beidohrig bei voller Konzentration gehört zu werden. So wie das zweite Album des schwedischen Trios „Vogon Poetry“, das bislang nur Insidern bekannt war, nun jedoch mit Scent Air Records einen weltweiten Vertriebspartner gefunden hat… Read more

REVIEW from bodystyler.org (DE): Nein, es verbirgt sich kein Schreibfehler im Albumtitel, sondern vielleicht sogar die Aussage, dass eben nicht alles perfekt, sondern eben auch manchmal einfach nur prefekt ist… Read more

In 2014, Vogon Poetry released the very well received debut album “Don’t Panic” including true synthpop gems like The Diceman, A Fine Day and Time Machine. The band has since then worked on new material and the single/EP Never Too Late was released on Scent-Air records on the 24th of july.

On The Prefect Stories, Vogon Poetry takes on a somewhat darker and dirtier approach. The album is best described as a marriage between bands such as IAMX, Depeche Mode and more electronic sounding acts such as Yazoo and Swedish Elegant Machinery and SMPJ, although with the distinct Vogon Poetry sounds and lyrics always present.

The Prefect Stories consists of 9 tracks that spans a wide spectre within the electro pop genre, such as sci-fi themed electropop hit “Hyperspace Bypass”, the more sombre Never Too Late and synthpop gem Moments. The album delivers both dark and gloomy tracks such as “The great big nothing” and energetic up beat tunes such as “Afraid”.

Catchy melodies and clever lyrics combined with the voice of John sets the Vogon Poetry atmosphere and makes for a moment of pure electro pop pleasure.

Vogon Poetry is stationed in Gothenburg, Sweden and consists of the three members: Roger Tell, Daniel Onnerby and John Andersson.
