This time Alex leads the charge and introduces Dan, Joe and Jonathan to the synth-heavy, industrial world of Aesthetic Perfection in those all-important 10 tracks. Give Alex's picks a spin (Song Smart Ep #21: Aesthetic Perfection In 10 - playlist by Song Smart | Spotify) and contemplate with us whether industrial pop is inherently something of a paradox, the ways in which Aesthetic Perfection injects industrial sensibilities into non-industrial soundscapes and just how deep Dan's bag of unexpected points of reference goes. (Recorded April 2025.)
