SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE - Click LP

Highly recommended.

System Exclusive, an American musical duo based in Pasadena, California, consists of Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones. The group is recognized for blending elements of synthpop, shoegaze, and garage rock into a distinctive post-punk style. Their dynamic sound is driven by compact synthesizers and a vocal style that balances nostalgia with innovation. They first emerged on the music scene with their eponymous debut album in 2021, released under Castle Face Records.

Their follow-up album, “Click,” is released through Mt. St. Mtn and produced by K. Dylan Edrich, showcases smoky vocals set against complex synthesizer arrangements.
