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.

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. :lol:

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!

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! :thu:

Yeah man Ulver is dope! Talk about a change in direction!

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