The year starts with a bang Shane :) Album of the year on its first day? Joke aside, it's great.
And a happy new year all, the last year had some great releases and other than new albums from well established artists like FM-84, Nina, The Midnight (hopefully) there probably will be lots of great stuff this year for us.
I've been throwing on a lot of Wolfclub lately and loving almost every track. I'm a sucker for a sweet melody & endearing vocals.
They're simultaneously super sentimental sounding while also being great for a good gym visit soundtrack.
New album from Phaserland... I haven't listened yet. edit: It's really damn good.
Is your 8bit request more akin to a chiptune sound or composition? Maybe Arcade High? Willrock?
Loving the recent Moonrunner83 & Megan McDuffee collab. Wish it would get a vinyl release...
This is pretty slick, and quite good.
Will give it another listen. I think I checked it out briefly and didn't quite click.
Releases next friday, but half the album is available now.
I'm loving this. One of the best I've enjoyed in a long while.
I'm excited for the new Vulta album, out on the 20th. The released track 'For Humanity' is great.
Is there any good resource for finding local, live synthwave shows?
Not bad, definitely want to check out the whole album when released. A bit too messy though, so a bit cautious.
I really dig the new Essenger track released yesterday, together with Pylot.
All of his last three singles leading up to his upcoming album has been fantastic.
This track is great. Realize I hadn't heard another Essenger track since what looks like Afterburner. So will check out some more.
there was a discussion in the socialist thread about the subgenre " sovietwave" and some stuff came up there which is actually not retrowave but original stuff by Edward Artemyev from the 80s which I think might interest folks in this thread:
neros uploaded a song from this album a week or so back. A solid first album from this "STEALTH".
Speaking of Timecop1983, I licensed a few songs of his for this documentary I just put out:
We were also able to get The Midnight to license a song for the trailer, plus Neil Cicierega & Greibel Sanchez. The soundtrack came out better than I ever could of possible expected.
New Siamese Youth track
free dl on bc
Time flies, almost two months into the year and the thread lay more or less dormant and then all of a sudden it sprung back to life again! Guess it's time to remove the dust from the keyboard... :)
Shane Seems we've been enjoying a lot of the same stuff released so far this year. Time for me to contribute something to the thread, released almost two weeks ago, but one of the standout songs so far this year for me.
Also, this friday sees the realase of Baldocaster's new album Mirage. All three songs released in some way or another so far are top notch. Really looking forward to that one.
I'm enjoying this so far. Think you would too.
edit: I think it's great. Cyber Runner is an awesome track.
Fair enough, glad you're enjoying it.Thanks for the tips, it's a great album. Too me it feels more early '90s than '80s though and some parts make me think of that timeframe's Jarre. Think my favourite track of the album is Headrush just because of that.
