Retro Pop Revival – Zoe Twist, A Thousand Mad Things, Broiled, Madeline Goldstein

Slower, Zoe Twist‘s single, newly remixed by Followrs, immediately immersed us in its energy with intoxicating, buzzing synth chords and melodies, along with the bright feeling that accompanies it. The vocals perfectly match the uplifting, heartwarming feeling of the instrumental, effectively conveying the joyfulness of the lyrics.

The percussive elements of this track are groovy and fun, keeping up the energy of the song. You can hear musical influences from artists like The 1975 and The Japanese House, as the rhythmic melodies exert an exciting, indie, feel-good sound. Followrs’ take on Zoe Twist’s original turns it into an even more electrifying track, making it one of a kind.

Next on our list is from A Thousand Mad Things, their newest single, Local Guys, which taps into the deep, dark energy perfectly portrayed through their post-punk, synth-pop sound. The low-toned synth chords contrast with the mid- and upper-toned vocals, striking your ears with their enchanting vision. The vocals themselves are emotionally expressive in a way that mesmerizes you.

If you love artists like Depeche Mode and The Cure, you will connect with this track, as their genre influences are easily heard in this single. Overall, the instrumental is well balanced in its rhythmic variety and infectious melodies. Matching the creativity of the song is the music video, which we encourage you to check out.

Something In The Quiet by Broiled is gentle yet haunting, and serene yet exhilarating. It’s everything you need in a synth-pop track – the melodic synth chords from 80s new wave influences, the soothing, electric vocals, and the haunting, high-energy. Its sound’s influences are recognized in artists like Pet Shop Boys and The Human League.

The themes of this track open your imagination up to its spooky possibilities. The bass synth has a punching ability, standing out in the beat and drumming in your head. Broiled is a new artist, with only a few other singles released, including this track. We are excited to see the direction Broiled goes in their musical endeavors.
