The Toxic Avenger – Lies (ft. Look Mum No Computer)

I never get tired of hearing analogue synth goodness and that’s exactly what you get with this new track from The Toxic Avenger. That rezzy bass and white noise percussion married with the vocals hits my bliss point. And then add solid Choreography, well it just takes everything to another level. Some of the best music videos, in my opinion, are those that incorporate dance. This video was shot at a soviet Ukraine publishing house which produced governmental newspapers for whole country. They found various communists items during the shoot. Choregraphy by Konstantin Koval

Color Theory – Glory Days

Brian Hazard (aka Color Theory) is the one man wizard behind this latest romantic synth track “Glory Days”.  It’s a warm and melodic synthwave track that is well written and catchy.

Lyrics:

Nothing changes in the day by day
But then we look back
And nothing is the same
What do we cling to at the last?

Boring stories of foolish acts
Enlarged and embellished
Sealed and vacuum-packed
Best friends can’t let go of the past

A life in Technicolor
Beyond the ever after
A yellowed Polaroid
Can’t fill the aching void
Of glory days
Glory days

Crushed by the absolute fact
That things can never go back
To how they used to be
Accept wholeheartedly
The glory days
Those were the glory days

Wasn’t ready to come of age
Still waiting for my shot at center stage
Too immature to let it go

I’m inclined to take the longer view
The future me seeking out the future you
Forever hunting high and low

It isn’t all bad, getting older
Waited years to kiss you
Wasted away
And now I do it every day

And if you can’t recall
We’ll just redo it all
The glory days
These are the glory days.

SOB SISTER – I DIE

SobSister

Sparse synthpop track that recalls the early days of synthpop from the likes of OMD and early Depeche Mode.  I also enjoyed the emotion behind the vocals and the bouncy bassline.
