Flashlights’ new single

Flashlights

Fresh from their critically acclaimed ‘Hidden Behind Trees’ EP for Binary, Denver Synth outfit Flashlights are back with a new single, ‘Fireworks’.

Injecting a little more ElectroPop into their dreamtime synth sound with ‘Fireworks’, Flashlights combine an ‘80’s Indie vocal with layers of crisp electronics for a sound more inclined to the upbeat and catchy, as we first heard with “’New Hampshire II’. It’s a nice direction for Flashlights to be going in, with something about it that recalls mid-‘80’s British Indie as well as the melodic ElectroPop at it’s core. It’s catchy as hell too!

♫ Flashlights – Fireworks

‘Fireworks’ is taken from the EP ‘So Close To Midnight’, released soon.

New track from Flashlights

FLASHLIGHTS

Flashlights, who released the awesome ‘Hidden Behind Trees’ EP on Binary earlier this year, have dropped a brand new track.

Taken from the GoldRush Festival artist’s compilation album, their follow up to the EP’s ‘New Hampshire’, ‘New Hampshire Part II’ is more traditional ElectroPop, upbeat and catchy, compared the the atmospheric Chillwave of the original. The track still retains a distant mysteriousness though, but contrasts that with bouncy synths and uplifting retro chords. Lush and swirling ElectroPop at it’s finest, ‘New Hampshire Part II’ is a track that slides into your brain and starts soundtracking your life.

Flashlight’s ‘Hidden Behind Trees’ EP is out now.

Alfa Vs. Flashlights

flashlights

The finale of today’s Alfa trilogy is his brand new reMix of fellow Binary artists Flashlights’ ‘Holidays’.

Taking the track from their EP, ‘Hidden behind Trees’, Alfa creates something truly epic. A head on collision between deep synth-Funk and wailing 80’s guitar, Alfa’s production skills are pushed into overdrive as a stream of different elements are effortlessly merged into an ass-shaking whole. The Indie-Electro vocals sound as if they’ve always been emoting over bouncy LA funk, retro synth stabs and the kind of axe work that inspires greatness,
