  • 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.
