What a kick ass synthwave track. Enjoy.

This song features thick, gorgeous synth chords layered into an almost foreboding sound collage. The sparse use of some kind of Japanese movie clip gives this tune the perfect feeling to start it off… chill, but with some kind of undercurrent of threat?

The drums here are understated, but glorious. Plenty of use of classic 1980s synth drum sounds. It has those great “boop” sounding toms that are delightfully synthetic. A clean and clear kick keeps the song moving, but the star of the show is definitely the snare. It’s synthwave perfection – sharp, clear, and with just the right amount of reverb.

Not much else to say here, so what are you waiting for? Throw on your headphones and turn up the volume.
