Just over a month ago, I happened to stumble upon an act from Canada named West Nile. Upon listening to their dark electronic pop, I immediately feel deeply in love. Their music embodies an 80′s evoking, dark disco meets new wave sound that has a ominous edge not unlike that of Crystal Castles or Chromatics, which of course, is a concoction that shoots straight for my heart. West Nile has been teasing about a new tune for the past days, and finally, they’ve unleashed #1FNDR, a song that starts out delicate and meticulous, crystalline and chilly, before it swells atmospherically then launches into spectacular, apocalyptic levels of pulsing, flashing retro dance pop energy. There’s a bittersweet sadness to the song, a solitary melancholy, with a vocal pattern that reminds me of oft covered classic Harry Nillsson song One. It’s an altogether heartbreaking though upbeat gem, a song steeped in fragile vulnerability.
