Memories of the Future.

Lazerhawk is a big name in synthwave and in electronic music in general. He’s one of the best around. However this track might just be the best synthwave track I’ve heard yet. The intro is smooth and ambient, with a strong feeling of nostalgia surrounding it. But it’s the break down  toward the 2:30 mark that really hits hard. It unlocks a deep feeling of longing and desire to return to a memory. It’s this deep repetitive beat that breaks down the barrier between subconscious and conscious, between left brain and right brain. It makes you want to explore memories you don’t remember. The song fades out with this groovy beat and it never stop hitting hard. It, much like the past, fades away despite the listeners desire for it to continue. It’s subtly deep and quite effective.
