future proof by streetlights

Streetlights drops an installment of demos in the lead-up to a debut full-length album. Inspired by some of the deeper purveyors of mid-tempo synthwave such as Com Truise, Nowtro, Airglow and Demin, this EP explores a similar vibe in Streetlights' own unique territory...

Opening with 'selective memory', the set begins softly, but promptly transitions through a series of bouncy synth hooks over straight rock and half-time beats...a dreamy science-funk coda takes the piece home...

'future proof' is a suitable centerpiece, epic and thematic, however mesmerizing and subdued. An infectious slushy bass underpins jittered arpeggios that flow through glorious progressions, pausing and subtly building, winding toward an unusal final excursion...

'naked truth' rounds out the collection with Streetlights' distinct cyclic structure, with layers building and switching, twisting the mood through light and dark passages of electro funk...elements and energy tumble yin over yang - always changing - always equal...

streetlights evolves through process in stylistic waves, emerging from a legacy of musical sketches in various guises of techno, house, ambient, drum n bass, dub, trip hop & post-rock... with spacey melodic themes as central element, the music has scripted itself, drawing from both modern & retro sonic sensibilities, disparate motives comfortably merging within the singular context of synthwave
