Pulsars are the project of Chicago singer, keyboardist, guitarist and producer Dave Trumfio, with brother Harry Trumfio on percussions. Silicon Teens (Sweet Pea, 1995) is the disco-rock single that launched Pulsars' revival of synth-pop (New Order's driving beats, Depeche Mode's soulful arrangements). The EP Submission To The Master/ Owed To A Devil/ Das Lifeboat (Almo, 1997) nods both to the Cars' polished productions and to Echo & The Bunnymen's lush orchestrations. The album Pulsars (Almo Sounds, 1997) mainly collects the singles. The duo was a short-lived novelty that collapsed under the weight of its derivative tricks.
