New wave gets a makeover with The Heroic Enthusiasts. We are listening to Joy Division in fractals. The packed energy, the fantastic production and surreal lyricism are all on the menu. I hope you’ve packed the appetite. This one is called Wake Me When It’s Over.
So a standing theory is that New Wave was far beyond its time. Well, this is that time. When all the lyrics hold relevance, when the gripping beats provide escapism at the best level. James Tabbi and Thomas Ferrara, the duo from New York give you a global outlook on what this genre has morphed to become. The distorted synth lead plays with the dynamic vocals to create a mélange of sounds unlike no other.
The build of the song is something you will patiently wait for. Not a climax magnet charade, but the kind of prelude that will magnetize you for the next track they release. The Heroic Enthusiasts are your knights in shining armour, and they’ve got the sheen and sound. This is their style statement, heralding a movement with just their music.
