The Last Playground's new tune, "The Closing", is just their second ever release, and it's a haunting yet kinetic synth-driven offering.
... a haunting, synth-driven new wave cut blending quirky textures, spoken word, and dark 80s atmosphere.
And despite it being only their second, it really packs a punch. Within the first ten seconds, you'll be able to hear their quirky synths, spoken word, and shimmering sounds that will beckon you forward into the rest of the track.
Hailing from Kirkcaldy in Scotland, the track has a delightfully fresh new wave sound mixed with some darker and atmospheric noises that can easily place this into the 1980s in terms of how it sounds.
The final minute of the song for me is the best part of it, with the sounds just becoming elevated and the vocals becoming more urgent. Once it's done, it's going to make you want to head into their debut track even faster than you would otherwise have thought.
