Let us harken back to the halcyon days of 2012. 'Twas a glorious time, after the punks fully embraced dancing to go along with fucking and party drugs, and Ryan Gosling was soundtracked by outstanding Italo-disco whilst speeding thru the streets of Los Angeles.
All the usual supects are here on this second of four volumes in the "After Dark" series. Chromatics and Glass Candy contribute multiple tracks, and label co-founder Mike Simonetti also kicks in an atmospheric banger. The lesser-known names, whether it's Chromatics side-project Symmetry, or label mates Farah, Appaloosa, Mirage, Desire, and Twisted Wires, are all equally on par with the brighter lights. I like that this feels nostalgic and fresh, all at the same time. I need nighttime ambience a lot of the time, and this has it in spades.
