Entry 1153 - Night Runner - Thunderbird


Style: Synthwave

Primary Emotions/Themes: A synthwave album that knows what it is and doesn't try to hide it

Thoughts: There are a lot of synthwave artists out there who want to mix the genre with others to create something new and different. Not Night Runner. No, this album knows exactly what it is and doesn't shy away from it.

Even the "acoustic guitar" that starts the album off is synths. Everything in this album is synths, and I love that it embraces it so completely. The whole thing screams 80's and doubles down on that fact with every opportunity. 

This is the perfect music to drive on a highway with. The perfect album to pretend I'm Night Rider. As with most synthwave I don't put this album on much anymore, but when I do it puts a smile on my face.
