A great album INTERNAL AFFAIRS from British musician and producer Sunglasses Kid. It goes beyond the usual Synth / Retro Wave, as it conveys a very precise style and atmosphere of synth scores from the 80s. Lots of romance and action, and very cinematic.
I asked Kid yesterday when we should expect his new album, and what its theme will be. He said that he hopes for autumn 2025. And it will be a continuation of the atmosphere of INTERNAL AFFAIRS, And with a new name INTERNAL AFFAIRS: DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. The new album will have more orchestral sounds and oriental motives.
I highly recommend his INTERNAL AFFAIRS:
Indeed, although I haven’t gotten around to that one yet. Jon alerted me to Sunglasses Kid awhile back. I have GRADUATION, SOPHOMORE and NIGHT LIFE. I prefer the instrumental album versions over the song versions, though.
Lovely track! Waveshaper is my go-to synthwaver (I have all of his compositions), but Sunglasses Kid is probably in my top 10 now, of those subgenre composers.
I have to admit I never explored the Beach Boys besides knowing their hits. I remember I once had Pet Sounds from the library years ago but it didn’t really click with me. So much music to expore and so little time…
