PTX, Volume 1

Pentatonix

Six tracks of high-octane vocal gymnastics where human voices are processed to sound like synthesizers, heavy bass, and drum machines. Pure pop maximalism.

June 26, 2012 · RCA Records

A high-energy, technically dazzling display of vocal power and pop precision.

Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, distorted vocal bass drop in Starships that mimics a heavy EDM synthesizer.
The haunting, layered choral dissonances during the bridge of Imogen Heap's Aha! cover.
The seamless hand-off between the three lead vocalists during the climax of Love You Long Time.
