NightWaves- Fascination


Here at Four Oh 7 we don't often get around to covering a lot of low-fi/dreamwave, but it's not for lack of love for this particular genre. So we understand a mention of this particular duo is probably long overdue. Sitting on the forefront of dreamwave music enter the artist NightWaves. NightWaves are on the label Binary, a record label based in LA with intentions of bringing songwriting back to the dance floor.




The third single from the compilation album LA lights is the song Fascination, "we really see this song as a maturation and a growth as a group. It's our favorite to date, and hopefully a taste of whats to come in the future". This track is full of emotion with vocals transported right out of the 80s and is virtually begging for an artist like Junkie XL to put a pulsating twist on it. Junkie is known for Drawing out the vocals and lengthening out the chorus and does it to a T here. Bit Funk, an artist they have previously worked with was able to add a more punchy and bouncy feel to Fascination which makes this one another standout. Lastly, is Keenhouse's 80s synthed out remix(the snths sounds like a excerpt from a Doogie Howser ep) which might have your feet and other appendages dragging you onto the dance floor against all remaining will.
