Neon Ghouls is a Canadian alt pop band. As their name suggests, their music embodies the contrast of technicolor dynamism and deep, bottomless darkness. And in bridging this contrast, they inculcate musical cultures of the 80s, synthwave and disco, dance beats and ear hooking vibrance. But there’s also a moody, haunting feel that enchants the listener. To be able to carry such different frames with stylish coherence and high aesthetic value is incredible. That’s what the Neon Ghouls do.
With their latest album, ‘Old Haunts’, they parade their favorite retro features through streets of contemporary models like dark pop, alternative, and darkroom music. Most of the tracks marry fun dance rhythms with sensory elements and popping rhythms. You’ll enjoy the rippling, domino-like synth lines, feel-good tempos, and bright raises. However, in the track, ‘Midnights’, we see a deeper, intimate ambience that dips into the listener like ink on paper. It has a very Billie Eilish style, with smoky vocal melancholy. Whiskey tinged, gloomy, misty dark, like a dimly lit room that is experiencing heartache. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
