Retropolis

Illweevil Retropolis with its popping sounds is synthpop that pops with a fun attitude. A nice blend of bright and crisp synths recreates a carefree metropolitan consumerism atmosphere of the eighties. Vocals by Occams Laser is a cool surprise and the other vocals are also fantastic. Favorite track: Firewall (feat. Lisa Marie Perkins).

Gus Rich The story behind the artist is almost as special as his album... How a 16 year old lad from Glasgow can produce such an unbelievable album & create such beautiful 80's synth tracks with so much feeling & care when he was born around the year 2000 is hard to believe! Special album & special artist... Must have for any SynthWave collection. Long Island is as close to perfection as I've heard yet. Amazing. Favorite track: Long Island (feat. Kaye Kiernan).

kmxexii The vocal tracks are dynamite but I'm let down by the intrusive auto-tuner. The funky "Trust" edges out as my fave for all the 80's production hallmarks and Oceanside85's great delivery. "Free" is a close second, a sultry darkstroll track with a finger-snapping percussion hook and sax solo (!!!). I also adore the vocal hook in "Firewall"'s chorus, but it's so processed and distorted that I had to check the lyrics. The instrumentals are reliably warm Absinth3 with anthemic guitar on "Farewell". Favorite track: Trust Is A Curious Word (feat. Chelsea Owen).

She's a devil She's running down a dream killing one by one Do you remember She's got a 50 cal so you better run She's a liar She'd tell you that she loved you but it wasn't so And all the hatred It all built up inside her and she's letting it go ====================================================== VERSE 2 You better run You better hide Cause she's gonna come and find you and take you for a ride You better stop You better think There's no more time to run cause she's on the brink No turning down Don't turn around Just find somewhere to hide and don't make a sound She's coming in You can't win Cause when she gets you in the night you wont believe your eyes ===================================================== CHORUS Firewall She wont give in tonight You better run or you will feel the Firewall She wont give up the fight You better hide or you will get the Firewall Empress of the Night You better watch or you will see the Firewall Her lights are shining bright Hunt you down and you will not see Her (Long Note Held) You will not see her ====================================================== VERSE 3 You better run You better hide Cause she's gonna come and find you and take you for a ride You better stop You better think There's no more time to run cause she's on the brink No turning down Don't turn around Just find somewhere to hide and don't make a sound She's coming in You can't win Cause when she gets you in the night you wont believe your eyes ====================================================== CHORUS Firewall She wont give in tonight You better run or you will feel the Firewall She wont give up the fight You better hide or you will get the Firewall Empress of the Night You better watch or you will see the Firewall Her lights are shining bright Hunt you down and you will not see Her (Long Note Held) You will not see her

I was lost I didn't know where to find you But I did know where to go You were gone Left without a reason Left the keys beside the door Do you remember When you took me by the hand And you said you wouldn't go But I knew That you were fooling around girl And there was nothing I could do CHORUS ====================================================== Thank you for setting me free You should have done that long ago Thank you for leaving me be You are now my shadow ==================================================== VERSE 2 I was right You never really loved me But I was just a fool He was hiding Behind the glass screen How could you be so cruel Oooh (Improvised Fills) ===================================================== CHORUS Thank you for setting me free You should have done that long ago Thank you for leaving me be You are now my shadow Thank you
