ainsofar I found out about Lights through Gunship and I certainly am glad for that. great album

Stephen Grall Quite a departure from the rest of Lights' music, which might be why it's only available on Bandcamp. But this is truly amazing Synthwave.

Kable I love this album, because I've been asking myself the same question lately, and not sleeping nearly enough. It's hard to sleep sometimes when you feel like you have just awoken for the first time and you are on fire with a burning energy to get things done and make up for past mistakes.

I made a night-time instrumental synthwave album over the last few weeks of sleeplessness. Loads of chill vibes. Kind of like an island cave, but with an arcade in it.
