Electronic Pop | House
Hooked the first second I heard that synth arpeggiator going from the start of the track. It only got better as the track carries on. It has a gothic vibe mixed with synth pop from the 80’s and modern synth wave. The vocals seduce and pull the listener in till it reaches a crescendo in the chorus with several vocals singing in harmony. This track is for fans of Grimes and Purity Ring.
Mix the percussion stylings of Blancmange , then throw in some dungeons and dragons mysticism and then top it off with a bit of Depeche Mode and you get the latest single from Color Theory, ‘Mages’. Has a other-worldly sound to it which fits perfectly with the theme and subject of the track. Also a big fan of that low bass in the chorus section. Color Theory is a Singer, Producer, Mixer and overall talented gent who is a Southern California native.
The opening is a retro/flashback to the early years of Depeche Mode and Eurthymics with it’s plucky lead synth line and synth bass. The pre-chorus into the chorus is where we hear a subtle shift to more modern electronic textures. Probably the best melody ever attached to the word Algorithm that I have ever heard. Should be a prize for that. Adrian Sieber (lead singer of Lovebugs) hails from Switzerland.
