A Dangerous Affair - Bringing Out The Beast In Me
90

A solid EP from start to finish. Really digging what these guys are doing with their sound, makes me full of nostalgic feels.

At 1980 - A Thousand Lives
72

Really refreshing release, it sounds a lot less "overdone" than most synthwave out there...

Phantogram - Memory of a Day
76

Atmospheric, confident and ethereal all at once. Their new album packs such a beautiful punch.

Jessie Frye - Kiss Me in the Rain
70

10/10 for a raw indepent artist trying to make it happen in the synthwave world

Washed Out - Notes From a Quiet Life
60

This morning marks my sixth go-round of listening and there are definitely a few stand out peices in it.

The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy
90

They took what Siouxsie offered us and made it ten times better....it's 1988 all over again...

English Teacher - This Could Be Texas
75

It does lean a tad towards the slower side for what I'm normally used to-but the entire thing flows together so flawlessly...I can't. stop. listening.

Youth Sector - Quarrels
100

This album is so reminiscent of late Talking Heads, early Devo. The second I heard the album I knew I had to purchase it. It's fresher than the New Wave you're used to and much funkier than any synth you've heard in a while.

"I agree that most of the songs here are all similar, you could swap the song titles to all of them and someone would say I love "the hardest part" and you'd be like yeah yeah lol i know the vibe"
