“Feel the Rush Tonight” with Lazerhawk & Gunship

Lazerhawk's 2017 album "Dreamrider," featuring the Gunship collaboration "Feel the Rush Tonight."
After a few days away, I'm going to step back into the blog with some '80s inspired synthwave from two of the genre's most influential names, Lazerhawk and Gunship.

Guilty Ghosts’ “Everlasting Evening,” featuring Sea Oleena

I'm running on four hours of sleep, so I'll keep tonight brief. My state of semi-delirium has kicked me slightly off-center, and led me down a strange and melancholic path. I've stumbled upon a meandering and hypnotic slice of kaleidoscopic ambience and downtempo guitar drone, titled "Everlasting Evening." Appropriate, I guess. This one comes from …
