NYC-based synth-pop act Parlour Magic enamor with the new single “Summerlin,” beholding an unraveling world within colorful synths and vibrant vocals. The verses project a sense of seeking change — “a journey man, a second town, your future plans are worthless now,” — and not quite coming to fruition.
An arpeggio-laden synth drive combines with new-wave guitar sensations within the enamoring chorus, inducing replays with its melodic immediacy and serene production, from noted producer Fab Dupont. German multi-instrumentalist Florian Stepper also contributes on bass, and features across Parlour Magic’s upcoming album, out this autumn.
