DARKWAVES - Halloween Synthwave & Horrorsynth

by Sam Haynes

supported by

Lionel Valdellon (Acid42) Darkwaves is a solid synthwave release, combining big analog pads, synth bass, & dramatic patches that contribute to the dark, gothic mood. Sometimes it's even humorous, as in "1984 (Psychobilly Mix)" where spaghetti western guitar floats over EBM. Other times, like in "Nightwaves" or "The October People," you get creepy chords and haunting arpeggios backed by ghostly choir pads. This isn't a novelty album, it's an exploration of the macabre using the 1980s retrowave aesthetic. Favorite track: Nightwaves.
