Jai Wolf will be releasing a much anticipated album on April 5th, and of course the man behind the most atmospheric and emotionally driven electronic music has turned to retrowave. With music videos of astronauts in space, vivid imagery of electric blue and neon orange, his music reflects a introspective exploration of escapism and losing control.
Day Wave, featured on this track, has also explored similar themes with his airy indie, a fitting great favorite of music channels such as Majestic Casual on YouTube. The combination is an guitar-strummed modern take on just regular old beaty-synth, a unique sound that gets me very excited about the upcoming album.
Get hyped, Jai Wolf’s single just released released yesterday, with more to come on him and his work on this blog.
The posters above were designed by Mishko, a graphic artist who also did Jai Wolf’s entire promo package for the upcoming album. His work is the very embodiment of the spirit of synthwave, and we will probably unavoidably see more of him as his style so strongly resonates with the theme.
Official video just came out: Introspective, soulful ending with a bang and a flash.
