I’ve been heavily into synthwave and I sometimes want to post videos. I don’t know where though so I thought of making it its own thread. Also, I want to discover more music this way because I’m sure y’all got some recommendations.
I’ll kick things off with the artists many consider to be the sythwave band, Carpenter Brut! One of their songs was used for the Youngblood trailer, so you might know it from there. (it’s called Turbo Killer) This is a really cool video by legendary TV channel arte, which should give you a nice overview. Enjoy!
re: first track in that video, is there a term for this flavour of songwriting which takes place heavily in the phrygian scale, with a chugging bassline and usually some kind of gated or arpeggiated synth accompaniments? something more specific than just “electro-rock”?
