Whilst many patiently await the imminent release of Perturbator’s enigmatic new album, the retrowave found itself in a near-dormant state this month, as though it were entering a mid-spring hibernation phase to hasten the arrival of summer and its hopeful promises of a world less grey. For those still awake, here’s a good handful of top-tier releases to sink your teeth into. You’ll be glad to have not missed these little gems along the way.

Castroe is back in top form with a full-length album of retrofuturistic bliss. With its nine tracks and forty-minute runtime, Fall Into You is a concise album that doesn’t overstay its welcome but delivers just about everything you could ever want in a Synthwave record.

From the Chiptune introduction on ‘Arcade Daze’ all the way down to the epic credit roll theme that is ‘Take my Hand’, the record delivers some powerful, catchy tracks whilst an immersive ambience for the album’s narrative to unfold.

With its electric neon grids and Cyberpunk soundscapes, Fall Into You makes its case as a truly heartfelt homage to the sense of wonder that permeated arcade culture.

Recommended Tracks: Fall Into You, Arrival, Take My Hand

Fall Into You is available for streaming on Bandcamp via Lazerdiscs Records and on Spotify.
