Listen to the Iridescent Synth Dream of London Darkwave Project Analog Dance’s “Stranger Minds” LP

Under the dim luminescence of London’s ever-stirring skyline, Analog Dance emerges as a spectral figure, crafting the haunting, rhythm-infused tapestry of “Stranger Minds.” This inaugural album from the new darkwave project slices through the urban dusk, opening a gateway to a domain where time blurs—a realm crafted from the whispers of lo-fi echoes, each chord resonating with the depth of untold narratives.

“Stranger Minds” is a compelling expedition through the labyrinthine corridors of the soul, with each track representing a milestone of personal and artistic metamorphosis, creating a dance of shadows and light. The lo-fi aesthetic of Analog Dance invites us into an experience where the echoes of Clan of Xymox, New Order, and haunting baritone reminiscent of surly gothic rock frontmen converge in a symphony of melancholic euphoria.

The album opens with “Eyes,” a track that ensnares with its spectral vocals and throbbing beats, setting the stage for a voyage into the depths of the psyche. “Melancholy” and “Lost” weave a dense fog of synth and sorrow, while “Echo” mesmerizes with its eerie, repetitive melodies, drawing listeners into a reflective trance.

“Emulation” quickens the pulse with its frenetic synths, a nod to the Human League’s legacy, whereas “Closely” slows the tempo to a somber march. The journey ventures further into the unknown with “Unknown Place,” a fusion of synthpop and post-punk, and “Nostalgia,” which dazzles with its new wave radiance.

As “Digital Tears” cascades into “Drowning,” we’re submerged in a sea of retro-infused melancholy, only to be revived by the nostalgic undercurrents of “Gloom.” The odyssey concludes with “Animal,” a vibrant finale that pulses with the promise of renewal.

It’s an obscure and esoteric darkwave record that serves a soundtrack that resonates like shadows cast upon the walls within the caverns of the heart and mind, perhaps mirroring our own transformations or serving as a beacon for those adrift in their own narratives.
