“A downtempo excursion cradled in reverent church-like organ”
Sounds from the synth-pop underground: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde takes another stroll down the downtempo lane with their chillwave-art rock hybrid Flodbåt, while their spacey ambient tribute Von Däniken honors the passing of a fellow Swede in suitably cosmic fashion. Skogsjournal offers a minimalist, hopelessly romantic keyboard tribute to Giorgio Moroder. LA dark synthpop trio BlakLight deliver haunting, dancefloor-driven remixes and the foreboding "Imminent Threat," while Hyperestis channels vampirism and desperation disguised as control through a Clan of Xymox-tinged darkwave lens.
