Retroglide

Level 42

A sophisticated return to form where iconic slap bass meets nocturnal, contemplative pop. More mature and atmospheric than their neon-lit 80s peak.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's sudden shift into a soaring, harmonized chorus that feels like breaking through cloud cover.
The extended, patient instrumental build during the bridge of The Way Back Home.
The way the signature slap bass on Dive Into the Sun anchors a surprisingly psychedelic lyrical theme.
