If you were to imagine what a group of graphic designers would do during their spare time, recording pop albums worthy of multiple listens would probably not be near the top of the list. Upcoming artist Hot Lava translates HTML into pop music format that, more importantly, translates into great music for the listening audience. The title ‘JPG in the sun’ and lines like ‘apple shift four take a picture of these heat waves while you still can’ will give geeks the feeling that this is a band that they can call their own. While this band uses computer references to appeal to nerds(such as myself), the overwhelming pop is what will initially peak interest to a wider audience.

Hot Lava may be working on their own genre of nerd-pop, but their sound is pop through and through. Upbeat tracks with catchy hooks are the in no way lacking on Lavalogy. ‘Blue Dragon’ is a quirky synth laden track detailing the adventures of a vegan dragon with soaring choruses and lines like ‘Your eating lettuce tomatoes your skin is rather porous/ You must be a vegan your so sweet/ You have got the spinach in your teeth’. The majority of songs on their debut are great but the one that is most likely to be fan favorite is definitely ‘Apple+Option+Fire’. Allison’s lo-fi vocals shine brightly as she sings ‘Wake up Wake up we got business we got choices we got fire/ force quit everything you know’, highlighting what this band does best, mix catchy melodies with memorable lyrics.

Lavalogy is overflowing with molten hot pop that fans of this genre will love. Hot Lava makes songs that creep into your memory to the point that your singing under your breath while standing in line at the bank, which is what pop music is all about.
