Lo-fi 80’s-style minimal synth pop. Composed entirely using analogue equipment (!) Detached monotone vocals give this a too-cool-for-school coldwave aesthetic. New Order and Depeche Mode seem to be big influences here. Real slick stuff for fans of Glass Candy, Cold Cave, Boy Harsher, or Lebanon Hanover. No FCCS. TRY: 9, 2, 8, 4
(1.) (4:17) Reverbed vocals, driving synth pop beat (*2.) (4:43) Dancey, urgent lustful. Gorgeous instrumental outro (3.) (3:54) New Wavey, steady drums, gentle guitar (*4.) (4:42) Propelling beat, emotional lonely lyrics (5.) (1:35) Wistful keyboard instrumental (6.) (3:32) Compelling beat, thudding bass, emo love lyrics (7.) (3:54) Buoyant dreampop (*8.) (4:41) Smooth intro leads into a sunny sanguine New Wave beat. Monotonous, longing vocals provide excellent contrast (*9.) (4:12) Still on the dancefloor after last call. A synthy, sultry electro banger (10.) (1:36) Starry reverb-drenched keyboard instrumental (11.) (3:43) Midtempo daydream in synth. Chill
