Based out of Brno in Czechia is Scaramantis, and not too long ago saw them share their bold debut single "Catchy Thing".
... a playful and polished future-pop debut.
The euphoric cut is a brilliant entrance to the world for them, with a crisp mixture of synths that sound cherry-picked from the 1980s, modern pop tones and slick production values.
Vocally, the track has been touched up with AI, but before you get defensive on this, every major artist has used some form of 'AI' or manipulation on their vocals. For me, the sound of this track is future-pop mixed with a dance-friendly charm.
"Catchy Thing" is playful, polished, and unapologetically experimental, proving that when AI supports music it can be a wonderful thing and help create the track into a masterpiece.
