incendiary magazine review: the sound of young holland ii, o’ceallaigh irish pub, groningen – january 17 2014
Now it was time for something more cerebral. Hunter Complex was upstairs playing a stripped down, quietly throbbing show to a room full of thoughtful men. Shorn of the film projections as a backdrop (which works so well for him) Lars concentrated on making a restful scene for all of us chinstrokers. Modulations of sound and echoes of rhythm built up a layered, womb-like atmosphere and the dudes all stood and stared at Lars twiddling nobs and pressing keys. As you do. (In fact, what is it about men staring at keyboards? We loves it, the girls just don’t dig it in that “let’s fix the carburetor/ make that 1/25th model of a King Tiger tank” kinda way).

gonzo (circus) review: the sound of young holland ii, o’ceallaigh irish pub, groningen – january 17 2014
Dat was anders bij de door de jaren 1980 geïnspireerde synthesizermuziek van Hunter Complex in het kleine bovenzaaltje van O’Ceallaigh. Dit eenmansproject heeft op het podium een wat statische uitstraling. Een gebogen staand persoon die alleen maar aan knopjes friemelt zonder op of om zich heen te kijken en zonder presentatie, is niet echt opwindend om te zien. Gelukkig maakte de muziek, afkomstig van zijn nieuwe album Heat veel goed. Een paar uur later zou Hunter Complex nog een optreden verzorgen in Gym in het kader van Euromoney.

Hunter Complex is the moniker of Lars Meijer. Since his 2nd album ‘Heat’ came out in September 2013, we’ve been completely Airwolfing out to the brilliant blend of analog and digital synths, 80s new wave and television theme-song nostalgia. And we’re not alone; there’s been some well-deserved international recognition for this Narrominded-release. Crockett, Tubbs & MacGyver bought the vinyl too.
