Gunship, a prominent name in the synthwave scene, has launched the animated music video for "Tech Noir II," featuring contributions from John Carpenter, alongside their new Tech Noir Timelines EP. This song is a sequel to their original "Tech Noir" from 2015, echoing themes of survival amidst destruction. The EP also includes remixes and collaborations from notable artists like Charlie Simpson and Tim Cappello, continuing the band’s trend of fusing retro sounds with modern elements.
Given Gunship’s collaborations with influential figures like Carpenter and their intertwining of horror and synthwave themes, how do you think nostalgia shapes the sound and identity of contemporary synthwave artists?
