I'm really, really excited about this one. Ezra and Nic, aka ROOM8, are making some of the most amazing music I've heard since the golden days of EDM circa '07. Think Valerie collective... Remember them? Remember those sounds? The heavily synthesized, poppy, sort of retro, 80s-feeling jams we all found romance in? Well, again, I'm really excited about this one, and here's why.
"Visions Of You" is perhaps the lead single on ROOM8's forthcoming debut album Transduction, featuring Electric Youth (heroes!) who especially mesmerizes with her vocal work here. It's a truly beautiful song that, in my opinion, is kind of about things crashing down around you but having that special someone to keep you going.
I can't wait for Transduction to arrive. I was talking to Ezra on the phone the other day and he mentioned some pretty wicked appearances on the record to me, mainly Martha Davis from The Motels, M83 saxophonist Ian Young, guitar work from Giorgio Moroder arranger and guitar player and famed producer, Richie Zito, mixed with Gavin Mackillop (Human League, General Public, Heaven 17).. Honestly, if this was the mid-1980s, this would be a whole 'nother game. This track would top the charts in a flash.
Talk to ROOM8 on Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr. And definitely be sure to listen to some more music on SoundCloud.
