From the opening strains of "Combat" to the last refrain of "Demon Attack", Arman Bohn establishes himself as a pop perfectionist. The album inspired by the early days of Atari video gaming has all the late-70s-early 80s sunshine guitar rock filtered through a synth pop soundscape. Alternate tuning and custom built instruments (like "the Magical toolbox" ) abound as tales of forlorn love and destroyed cites jump from the stereo. Songs like "Kaboom" feature instantly catchy sing-along choruses and "No Escape!" (the second equally infectious single from Bits ) counter the pop orchestration of a gorgeous melancholy song like "Lost Luggage" or the equally plaintive "Night Driver". This is a criminally underrated and unheard release.
