This is like my favorite jam of 2017 so far. The record came out a few days ago, and it's awesome. It's like Tears for Fears did the Stranger Things soundtrack.
Every song on the record is great. Super chill stuff.

Re: Zeta (Dan Tompkins and Paul Ortiz): Awesome Synthpop
Love it. 80s vibe is killer. I also dig the fact that there are vocals on it as it seems a lot of the synthwave stuff I check out from time to time is mainly instrumental.

Not bad, i could really do without the rap part in that first song though.
This is my favorite synth pop album of 2017 so far.... from a band that used to be black metal at that!

Yeah that's really cool. Reminds me of Nero's last album too.

Not a huge Nero fan myself, but I get the comparison for sure!

Re: Zeta (Dan Tompkins and Paul Ortiz): Awesome Synthpop
I like some Nero, but not all of it. They were more of a gateway band for me starting to get into more synthpop, dubstep, and then I went hard into trance ala Deadmau5 and such.
I've been getting into Collide too.
Anyway, this was sounding really cool!

Loop. the 2 songs were very cool. I prefer the second one but will definitely be checking those guys out.
