Fortnight In Florida – “I Can’t Wait Forever”

Having toured with Lianne La Havas as a keys player, singer and songwriter Simon Middleton met bassist and guitarist Eamonn Dawe and drummer Andrew Gallop and formed this London-based trio. Sharing a love of disco and synth pop, they debuted their retro-touched electro-pop sound on their first EP “So Long” in 2016 and made the Glastonbury Emerging Talent long-list in that same year.

With a pulsating bassline, radiating a neon glow at every pluck, their new single emerges from the depths of an 80s synthesizer. Touching on the New Romantic style of electronic pop, the reverberating beat and smoothness of the synths seamlessly meld together with the lustrous magic of the retro vocals, which will take you on a voltaic journey to yesteryear you don’t have to wait forever for.

Bora York – “Something Fine”

This Minneapolis-based husband and wife duo, consisting of Chris and Rebekah Bartels, debuted in 2013 with their album “Dreaming Free”, conceived as a music school senior project and intended to be folk. However, Chris fell in love with a synth pop sound and introduced a funkier side on their second album “Secret Youth” in 2015. While raising three young children, they’re always honing their artistry.

Taken from their upcoming third album “Emotion Vertigo”, which is expected to drop on November 8th, their new single delves into the vintage vortex of 80s synths. With a distinctly funkalicious vibe from the electronic gadgetry, groovy guitar strums and her refreshingly upbeat vocals worming their way into your ears, this revitalizing portion of glittering retro pop is something especially fine indeed.
