District 13 – Pandora’s Hope (Album – Digital/CD – Infacted Recordings)
The German Synth-Pop band District 13 has been active for several years, releasing four albums under KL-Dark-Records. With their latest opus, they have transitioned to the larger and more renowned Infacted Recordings, offering many new fans the opportunity to discover their music. “Pandora’s Hope” delivers a familiar yet refined blend of catchy Electro-Pop, characterized by danceable rhythms and appealing melodies. While the album does include a few weaker tracks, it remains an overall enjoyable listen, though without any standout moments. The vocal production could use some improvement, and it’s unclear if the international Synth-Pop community was eagerly awaiting this release. Nonetheless, the album has its merits. (Rate:6½).
