Halloween in this city is not really about costumes for a certain crowd; it is about the one night when dressing the way you already want to dress requires no explanation. Music built out of drum machines, French-accented vocals and synth lines that sound like a film score to a movie nobody made is the natural soundtrack to that, and this project has been supplying it since the height of the last synth revival. The producer behind it has an unmistakable signature — everything drenched, nothing rushed. Live it is more physical than the records suggest and the room tends to arrive dressed. Highland Park's upstairs Masonic hall, wood floors, balcony above, a late door. Music at 8:30 PM at 104 N Avenue 56 on Halloween night. The eastside goth and synth crowd treats this particular night as an annual meeting, and it looks like one.
