Does anyone know any good synthwave artists? I've been listening to Dreamkid on Bandcamp, but I thought I'd also see what other people are listening to.

I really like Kavinsky's latest album Reborn, specifically the song Pulsar.

Second for Reborn. It's solid front to back. I'm a big fan of the Zenith, Vigilante, Zombie stretch from the album.

I'm a big fan of Starcadian.

I'm awfully partial to The Midnight - The Comeback Kid for my synth wave needs.

[–] boo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Gunship, Perturbator, Capenter Brut, Gost, Makeup and Vanity

Volkor X is one of my favorites.

Check out Power Glove, specifically their EP 2043: Volume 1. It's a bit different to your regular synthwave, it's darker and a bit more influenced by techno.

[–] Clover@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Perturbator, VHS Glitch, and on the more chiptune/metal side but still synth: Master Boot Record.

[–] bugieman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Obvious answer for me is the Midnight. They definitely can be a bit over the top at times.
