London-based duo Max Macready have made a stunning entrance with their debut single, "Holding Pattern". The cut is a brooding yet uplifting darkwave track pulsing with cinematic synths and 80s nostalgia, think New Order if they had some moodier vocals infused with glamrock riffs.
... a cinematic darkwave gem pulsing with 80s nostalgia, analogue warmth, and moody, synth-driven allure.
The track really does sound both fresh as a daisy and as nostalgic as an Atari 5200, with swirls of sounds that sound destined for a soundtrack to something like Stranger Things.
Driven by analogue textures and moody vocals, "Holding Pattern" captured us from the first play - I'm just gutted we have to wait for more tunes now - and we feel that if you like the darker side to the alt/indie scene then this would be perfect for you.
Be sure to keep an eye on this duo, if their debut is good imagine what their live shows will be like!
