London SynthPop troupe Strangers are back with their first single of 2012, and they are kicking off the year in bombastic style.
Like their previous works, ‘Shine On You’ encapsulates that particularly ‘80’s contradictory mix of deep melancholy and uplifting hopefulness. Everything about Strangers’ sound is getting bigger and bigger, more euphoric. Powerful drums, huge chords and sparkling synths make up this giant SynthPop anthem. Whereas to date Strangers could have easily draw comparisons to HURTS, now it feels like there is something of The Sound Of Arrows in the mix, and the combination of the moody Dark Pop and the explosion of optimistic childlike wonder makes for a really compelling, emotional and satisfying music experience. this could easily be Strangers’ mainstream breakthrough.
