The new album ‘Down By This River’ by Italian duo Land, could be the place to start if you’re into modern songs that sound like the 1980s. I would describe the whole record as dark Electro-Pop, with a touch of the classic post-punk/new wave era heavy on synths. Without a doubt, ‘Down By This River’ is packed with a sheen of melancholy too. I can guarantee a deep tuneful singing voice is what seduce listeners from start to finish. Moreover, it would be no exaggeration to say these guys have been compared to the likes of Joy Division and Depeche Mode.
It is a good thing that now more than ever, bands and singers like them are reviving old-school sonic elements such as analog synths and industrial-esque vibes. Certainly, this is an album you can’t stop playing. Land make room for imaginative lyrics that will let you enter into their fantasy world. What makes this album cooler than average is also the futuristic sound. In conclusion, you don’t need a time machine in order to relive old memories when the Golden age hits of synthesizers topped the charts. Today you can enjoy much of that thanks to this compilation of seven nostalgic and unique tracks.
