It’s been a while since our last Let Em Riot release, “The Futurist,” back in 2018. With his signature dreamy synth and laid-back Californian vibes, it was long overdue for another! The first single, “Not Enough,” is available to stream now on the bandcamp album page – and shows what may be an interesting renewed focus on a more alt-pop vocal heavy sound for Let Em Riot.

With a heavy focus on lyricism and introspection, this may be Let Em Riot’s most thought-provoking album yet. Only time and more single-releases will tell what’s in store for us on “Years Later!”

Watching as the sun retreats behind the horizon, the world passing oddly into an indigo light.

You cannot see gravity. You can see gravity by its effects.

In a similar way it’s hard to pin down why Let Em Riot – Foreigners is so heartbreakingly nostalgic. A chilled-retro-driven sound of sun-drenched synths and dreamy 80s electro pop. It never ever deviates from the blissed out atmosphere, perfect for sunshine and open top Ferraris rides through a smouldering landscape. The melody can thrill and excite as much as a romantic adventure can.

The soft intro with traipsing bass, a vocal-line perfectly walking the retro-line. Reminisce of an 80s TV show, the chimes drenched in reverb, the subtle grooves and placid-mesmerising-melodics drawing you in.
