STASH is an electro-pop duo based in Hollywood.
I find something sympathetic about them, so when I
look at pictures of them I want to like them. Their beats are definitely
catchy, so it should be there, but then I always find myself irritated instead.
Some of that is a brashness to the music. It feels
like there are some effects that should be modulated, with a greater balance
between the treble and bass. Without that, the music lacks sophistication.
I also notice what feels like an overemphasis on
image and sexiness. Maybe the real problem is superficiality. The music keeps
feeling like it should be good and I should like it, but then it ends up
feeling stupid and annoying.
Your individual mileage may vary, but I found STASH very
frustrating.
They may just be aiming too low.
