Retroglyphs' retrowave / synth pop "Talk It Out" dives deep with a sad undercurrent (Official Video)

AP Track Review

Talk It Out by Retroglyphs (New Jersey) a shiny 80's inspired retrowave / synth pop outfit centered around producers Frank Cervantes and Josh Dowiak tempers the new wave glisten with sad reflective emotions. The piano line alone, even apart from the driving beat (with lush tom strikes), heavy bass, forlorn, dreamy vox, guitar and sax lines, (in and of itself) has it's own introspective tones of ennui. That feel is what elevates the track itself. While Cervantes (lead vox, guitar, keys, production) and Dowiak (vox, bass, keys, production) may envison the dreams, Matthew Wood (keys) and Joshua Holland (drums) flesh out the full sound live. 

The Official Video for Talk It Out (from the "Angel Eyes" EP) directed by Cervantes and Dowiak is cast in lush colors as captured by cinematographer Larry Langton. It is all so dreamily cool.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Retroglyphs is the new 80s-inspired project of Frank Cervantes (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Production) and Josh Dowiak (Vocals, Bass, Keys, Production), who had previously teamed up in the Philly-area rock band, The Once Was. The band recently added multi-instrumentalists Matthew Wood and Joshua Holland (primarily playing keys and drums, respectively) to round out the live band.

In its first few months, the band has already received attention from NewRetroWave’s WeRuleNation, various music blogs, and several radio stations throughout the US and Australia. In addition to a recent international collaborative track release, all of the band’s songs have been remixed by popular European producers.

Seeking to capture the allure of the 80s, the band has set its sights on performing in the United States for the rest of 2018.
