Rosso Corsa has been slowly amassing the world’s greatest roster full of new wave, electro and warm 1980s vibes. I was first introduced to them as a result of Mitch Murder’s Burning Chrome release. Short of going back to some of the classic Harold Faltermeyer releases and various soundtracks from that time, I hadn’t heard anything from our current generation that even came close. They have kept such a cohesive sound through all of their artists releases thus far and their artwork consistently has that same bright neon feeling. It’s cheeky without being overly comedic about it.
Lazerhawk’s Visitors LP dropped this week and it is full of magical arp lines and neon soundscapes. It’s like a trip down the foggy coast in the middle of the night on Highway 101 in your chromed out UFO, with multi-colored lights pulsating to every beat. The album art, designed by the talented Michael Delaporte only adds to the overall feeling. Add this to the list of releases that could use a vinyl edition – I need to be able to feel this in my hands while listening on headphones.
If you haven’t been exposed to what Rosso Corsa is doing, consider this your prep course. I can’t wait to hear what these guys do next.
