I have seen the future of techno, and it is Truckasauras.

Of course, that can't be true. For one thing, the Seattle outfit uses technology that's way antiquated: Roland TR-808, Sequential Circuits TOM, Commodore 64 clone, Gameboy, megaphone. No next-level, cybernautic, telekinetic future-shock shit here, just cranky circuitry and a siren switch.

Despite all the drinking, the trash-culture affectations, and the general goofiness, it's clear that Truckasauras are more than just simple-minded party rockers. There's a surprising emotional depth to their video-game melodies, a specific nostalgia in the band's fondness for old-school gear and the vintage cheese on their visuals. The Game Boy—won in a grade-school walkathon—the pro wrestling, and the vintage beeps and beats go back in time to a suburban rec room circa 1989: a Pop Rocks–fueled sleepover spaz-out in full swing. This sometimes playful, sometimes longing nod to Nintendo-age adolescence gives Truckasauras's computer music a uniquely human touch.
