Mistral Moon
Ghostly International are sharing a new EP from Danish duo Syntaks in preparation for the group’s full album release on Nov 3rd. Syntaks is comprised of the speechless, hushed singing of Anna Cecilia and the thoughtfully placed oceanic melodies, stuttering beats, and distortions of producer Jakob Skott. Mistral Moon (Illuminated Version) is a triumphant love song that would be quite at home in a 1980s fantasy film, like Ridley Scott’s Legend or Blade Runner. It will captivate and lull you as easily as the moon with the seas of the world. Visit the Ghostly website to download the other track.

[...] Lately I can’t seem to get enough of these throwback synth tunes. First was D/A/D’s Miami Vice inspired “Super Motives” EP. Syntaks‘ “Minstral Moon” travels back through a series of otherwise mundane memories. August 1991 I saw Terminator 2 at the Cherry Bowl drive-in theatre in Beulah, Michigan with my family. One year later on the rise in my backyard in St. Louis, my oldest brother would tell me that America’s entered World War II 50 years ago. The countless trips down into the neighborhood creek left an undeniable impression on me. Imagination and memory spill over into each other during summer storms that swell the creek past its banks. Did I really see that dinosaur footprint? I remember seeing it but I really can’t be sure. Recently my mom let me know how surprised she was that I have absolutely no memory of my parents ever arguing as a child. Did my parents make an extra effort to shield me, or did my idealistic view of them simply fill my entire impression? It’s strange but every one of these memories queues up perfectly with “Minstral Moon.” Check it out via Disco Workout. [...]
