about
It's the end of the summer on the beaches of your teen years' holidays, and you can still faintly hear the nostalgy-inducing dregs of a faraway seaside disco.
Vim Cortez takes you on a last, slow dance before the days of falling leaves set in for good.
“Riviera Coastline” is a synth ballad straight out of an 80s movie love scene... like a forgotten ghost track on the original “Top Gun” soundtrack.

Cool synth jams with a sprinkling of 8-bit goodness and synthfunk slickness, very different from the current "Outrun" school of retro synth instrumentals, with a heavier, more sensual groove. Vim Cortez

An endearingly-weird, synth-spiked new album from the Chicago indie-rockers, with partial proceeds benefitting mental health advocacy. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 5, 2020
