If Jane's Addiction had ever gone synth-crazy with a hint of emo-pop, I imagine they would have ended up sounding somewhat like A Love Like Pi.Atlas and the Oyster, the debut disc from A Love Like Pi, is similar in most ways to so many other 2000s pop-emo bands, with punching riffs and vocals that will make teen skater girls hang on for every syllable. The difference here, is A Love Like Pi introduces more electronic noises.Using primarily synthesizers, the biggest flaw on Atlas and the Oyster is the occasional synth-drowned vocals, you know the kind, like putting a voice decoder in front of your mouth and speaking, only with the added allure of the synthesizer. It isn't all in vain, as the majority of Atlas and the Oyster is enjoyable.A Love Like Pi has the energy to make this work, and with a few tweaks and some stage exposure, the band's sound could easily develop into something remarkable.Atlas and the Oyster comes out Tuesday on Thriving Records. The band isn't currently slated for any shows outside of the comfort zone called home in New Jersey, but don't be surprised to see them latch on with someone this spring and make themselves heard.
