The RETROSPECTS - Vaporwaves [IMPORT color vinyl] – New LP

"Boom! Midi monster pop perfection! Ottawa's The RETROSPECTS brand-spankin' new & loud one – soon after their debut album they got their second album out and "Vaporwaves" is a new wave masterpiece.

Dozens of synths and drum machines have been carried to the church again (and its chimney).  Twelve new originals full of infectious harmonies and a big urge to dance and slide away. RETROSPECTS are a five piece synth pop outfit around singer Ian Manhire (THE WHITE WIRES and THE SEDATIVES). Following ALIEN SNATCH! you may have noticed that we adore the synthdoom of EERIE FAMILY, but apart from this HEX DISPENSERS side band, we're not trust funding in electro-eggpunk-a-like genres. We're curving around the 80's and we love punk rock without muscles or shoulder pads. It's the knack for catchy songs. The RETROSPECTS came along with their Oberheims and polyphonic wizard-gear and threw in the colorful aspects of '79 power pop in the high time of 80s ghostbustin' chupacabra commercial jingles on a VHS tape. Are we obsessed already? This album is a wall-to-wall permanent part of our mental furniture.  They unlocked the constant feeling of listening to the songs like the very first time, again and again. This is a reissue of their new album, originally released early 2026 on the band's own VINTAGE VOLTAGE label in a limited edition of 100 copies. Original killer artwork by Ken J. Maxx slightly adjusted for ALIEN SNATCH! Mixed original planeteria color vinyl pressing of 472 copies.
