If roller skating rinks were still an active concern and not a retro kitsch thing preserved as almost a museum of another era, They Kiss is making music that would be perfect for skating the night away and in particular the new single “Synth Pop Beat” (a title the song amply lives up to) from the duo’s 2022 album Feeling With You. The song is a romance of two people “living the dream” together combining their complementary energies to be able to perhaps accomplish more than they could or would separately. The saturated synth tone and blissed out melodies fuse trip hop sensuousness and chillwave’s deep sense of nostalgia and daydream-y mood. The beats are meditative in the way dancing can be and the song as well as much of the rest of the album can put you in a mood to indulge pleasant memories while angling for an even better future. It is the antithesis of the anomy of the current era of human history and we could all use a break from that anxiety even if only for the duration of a song or a dozen. Listen to “Synth Pop Beat” on Spotify where you can find the rest of the album and follow They Kiss at the links below.
