Retro Pop Revival – Lauren Gruwell, Le Gassique, Diamond Ace

Lauren Gruwell finds rare nostalgia with her new single Chosen Family.  A specter of Donna Lewis collides with eighties pop on this delectable single.  Gruwell offers a convincing performance to match the productions retro sparkle.  The uplifting prose adds to the aesthetic.  This one brings the family to the dance floor.  Get into it. 

Chosen Family is featured on our Best New Synthwave Playlist.  

Le Gassique know that there’s nothing strange about Ordinary Love.  They bend and pull at that construct on their new single.  A catchy dark delight, Le Gassique bridge the gap between Billy Idol, Interpol, and Depeche Mode.  It’s a testament to their chic theatrical vocal touch and classic electro based darkwave sensibility.  They keep that influence fresh with a unique arrangement full of creative flash.  We’re into it.

Synthwave producer Diamond Ace continues to up his game.  A regular collaborator with underground heavy hitters like Retroglyphs and Mayah Cabrera, the impressive producer recently dropped a banger with newcomer Lisa Marie Perkins.  We dig the vibe heard on their new single Hanging On… (Without You).  It emotes memories of College, Sebastian Gampl, and The Midnight.  It’s undeniable.
