Flash/Lights are an indie electronic group from Denver, Colorado, USA. They are often confused with another band from Florida called Flashlights. This track is taken from a two-track single called Scarves released by Hug Records in 2012. Stuttering synths are the icing that make this sugary synth-pop track extra sweet, and the echoing, breathy vocals sound straight out of 1983. This could be played on 80's retro night at your local club and nobody would bat an eye when this track followed New Order and Talk Talk, putting it in impressive company. Emulating a specific era's style like this can often lead to mixed results, but Flash/Lights nail this one to the wall, creating a song worthy of their Yamaha DX7-weilding forebears.
