New album coming soon, it seems.

Only gone through it once so I need more time for it to sit, but seems weaker than the previous album.

Dream Catalogue in general hasn't been as good lately. HKE became obsessed with not being labeled vaporwave, but the styles he's moved on to as a result just aren't that interesting imo.

Yeah, just finished listening to it, kinda underwhelming album.

Some of the tracks are quite nice in the second half, but yeah I dunno. I'll have to listen to this one again tonight.

Birth of a New Day hit me almost immediately as an amazing album, though. Still a great listen.

Fucking A! New album. I know what I'm hearing tonight. New fucking 20SIX Hundred! One super under-rated retro act.

'The fourth full length album by 20SIX Hundred combines more progressive rock flavoured synthwave, steeped in retro-futurism. From outrun to giallo, classic rock to ambience, PHANTASMAGORIC is the most ambitious album from 20SIX Hundred yet'.

Awesome.
 


Compilerbau - North Wall

Came out earlier this year but just got around to listening to it now, enjoying it a lot. Comes recommended to those who like a "space" sound, though you get some tracks with nice guitars on as well.

Per their newsletter, Makeup and Vanity Set's Brigador Vol. 2 should be out the second week of August:

the first major update and DLC for the game will be out the second week of august + with it will be the official release of BRIGADOR Volume 2. the second half of the soundtrack is a dark turn into the game's more atmospheric + analog synthesis based music. the main idea the devs had when we were working on the game was to have a really open atmosphere to explore some really dark, synthesized music alongside the energy of the first volume. some of the game's finer moments come from the brooding atmosphere they created along with the eerie heaviness of these tracks. this album quickly became my favorite part of this project. Volume 2 will be available digitally as DLC if you bought the game, digitally via iTunes / bandcamp / streaming, and as a double-vinyl gatefold album (!!). i'm excited to share it with everyone super soon.

Nice. Going to check this one out. I love spacey synth, much like Dynatron.
 
For you other vinyl people, snatch it while you can:

Cheers, picked it up. I do worry about the songs though, I wonder what there is on offer, do we know if they are new tracks or is it simply a compilation?. I can always cancel later on, at least its only 20€ (with bloody £13 shipping).

I have to somehow afford this, Gost and The Midnight this month...

Whaaaaaaat? I was so hyped for this release!

Surely they'll just release the album digitally on August 31st for us non-turntable-owning synthwave fans?

Please?

UPDATE: Guess not :'(

Rad Rush Records' Facebook page said:
Finally
THE FINISH LINE double vinyl is here, available to pre-order at an "early bird" reduced price of only €20 + shipping!

This is a VINYL ONLY release with exclusive tracks from the top synthwave and outrun artists around the scene! You will never find these tracks anywhere, but on this smoking hot beauty!

Listen here: https://confrontational.bandcamp.com/album/a-dance-of-shadows

Any news on some good upcoming synthwave albums to cheer me up?

The Midnight has a new album coming up real soon, https://themidnight.bandcamp.com/album/days-of-thunder
 
To be fair I have a Vinyl player in my house and I probably am the biggest fan of Pengus on this forum, so I may cave in and get it. Its not my Vinyl player though so we'll just have to see how much my housemates like Synthwave lol
 
Fuck, went crazy on this Gost order like I did with the last Perturbator one.
- 3xLP (black)
- 2xLP (black)
- 2xCD
- Normal CD

Waiting 2+ months sucks.
 
I just noticed there were only about thirty copies left each of the Gost albums and placed my order (both blood red versions).

So now I gotta show some restraint for the rest of the month.

*looks at calendar*

Oh.
