Blaqk Audio - Cexcells

Cexcells is a musical project developed by Davey Havok and Jade Puget of the well-known punk band AFI. The side project was believed to have started sometime in 2001, but was on an extended hiatus for a time. Although some remnants of AFI can be detected in this new album, Havok and Puget really have created a sound that sets the two bands apart quite clearly. The guys have admitted to their love of synthesizers, and it shows through in the music, giving Cexcells a futuristic pop sound.

The great thing about this album is that it is so versatile. I can listen to it while running on the treadmill or just sitting at home listening to my iPod. Every song on this album has a different type of sound so you are constantly entertained. The use of software and synthesizers also makes it extremely easy to dance to.

If you are not a fan of techno dance music, this may not be the album to pick up. Harsh base and upbeat pop sounds take the lead on every song, so if you are looking for something somber, move along.

This album is very different and unexpected, having stemmed from the band AFI. The sound is very unique but also entertaining. I think many people would enjoy listening to this album.
