“Post punk/New wave from Montreal, QC.”
Synth circuits and new wave dreams: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde delivers a heavily orchestrated vision of "hopefulness and trepidation of peering too far into the future," while The Mystic Underground's We Could Be Fugitives turns up the tempo to maximum dancefloor ferocity — a clarion call to "take your lover by the hand and run." SOFT RIOT's Crux channels Fad Gadget and early Simple Minds through minimalist darkwave and subtle psychedelia, and Modern Ideas crafts Melbourne garage synthpop where "plastic dreams, electric romance, and machines hum with human desire." Glass Dolls rounds things out with Montreal bedroom pop/post-punk meditations on love, loss, and grief.
“The title means Distant Fortunes, and this heavily orchestrated track envisions both the hopefulness and trepidation of peering too far into the future.”
