The 80’s retro-feel cinematic synth-driven music created by the Austin/Huston duo of Rodney Connell (voice) and Brandon Duhon (keyboards), aka Night Drive has always had a powerful direct connection with the world of sci-fi movies.
The new single ‘Arboria’, taken from this year excellent self-titled debut album, sums it up perfectly : powerful rhythm section, groovy synth bass, dreamy wavy textures underneath and melancholic emotional vocals keep building up a cold, dense neo-futuristic atmosphere that amazingly matches with the Panos Cosmatos’ ‘Beyond the Black Rainbow’ hallucinated and perverse dystopian slow journey of extraordinary visionary intensity, from which it draws its inspiration, in a truly mesmerizing blend of modern danceable synth sounds.
Keep up with Night Drive :
