Stray Fossa's shiny indie rock sound of "Eyze" feel like new wave in a parallel universe

Stray Fossa are a garage pop / indie rock band based out of Charlottesville, Virginia and their latest track Eyze came to be when the drummer surreptitiously arranged vocal harmonies around a bass hook without telling the bassist. Turns out the band liked the result and forged a head to develop a kind of retro new wave / old wave sounding track. That bass line sounds organic and lush and the combination of analog and electronic sounds works so well. I, like a lot of people have been binge watching the new season of Stranger Things and this track seems to fit that serie's retro motif. The vocals are hushed and simply alluring and I love when at around 1:30 in, the beat drops out letting the song breath in pretty ways. Then striking guitar rhythms happen that lights a fuse to a dizzying building fire of sounds. Love the groove, production and everything about this song.
