We found ourselves engulfed by the infectious immersive pump that grips you on Horizon. The new single from Fury Weekend, Pastel Arcade, and Waves_On_Waves is a new synthwave smash. The collaboration keeps it real with an on brand album cover that doesn’t mince influence. The track features killer production, period perfect guitar work, and expressive synths. It shines among the crowd courtesy of its period perfect vocal performance. Stylistically it connects with smash synthwave projects like FM-84 and The Midnight.

Wings of Fire and Oreana shine under the moonlight of Midnight. The title of their new single is full of reflective wonder familiar to a night well spent. It channels the brilliance of the iconic Drive soundtrack while offering something fresh within this aura. In that way it resonates with projects like College, Electric Youth, and Kavinsky. A new synthwave gem, we’re confident that retro pop fans will revel in the innocent nostalgia permeating from this vibe. It’s bliss.

We adore the rare stylistic design heard on Overdrive, the new single from A Theme of Noise. The melodic electro tom percussion recalls an influence of Peter Gabriel, while the vocal part could draw similarities to Maynard. Various synth layers stretch the tonal spectrum convincingly, textured dynamically in a way thats collectively rich. A trippy lead guitar propels the inspired dreamscape as you wade into the music video’s abstract evolutions. It’s easy to lose yourself within this vibe. A new kind of nostalgia, Overdrive represents the essence of retrofuturism.

We love the obscure gothic pop blend Chopper brings to his music. It’s both catchy and bizarre, seeped in contrast and meant to be enjoyed in the dark. Their new single Wet Hot Summer gets their trademark music video treatment. Actor Mille Katharina Justinusse is convincing as a curious urban clubber, one that can’t avoid the lure of dark erotica. All is well, until it isn’t. Beware the night walkers. The video is tailor made for this gothic retro pop moment. Get into it.
