Modern Love Is Automatic / Telecommunication

A Flock of Seagulls

A five-track transmission of neon-lit paranoia and space-age romanticism. Shimmering flanged guitars and driving synth rhythms define this early new wave blueprint.

Find on Amazon

It's the soundtrack to a 1981 sci-fi movie that only exists in your head.

A restless, neon-lit tension between human emotion and technological detachment.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The metallic guitar chime in the opening of track 4 that sounds like a transmission from a satellite.
The hypnotic, repetitive bass groove on Tanglimara that anchors the swirling synth textures.
The sudden wash of reverb-soaked vocals that makes the chorus of the title track feel physically distant.
