After five successful albums leading up to the 2022 LP "Yachtmaster", Ultraboss defined the genre and set a new standard in modern-retro-80s-synthwave-infused-yacht-rock, including blistering guitar solos and mesmerizing vocal performances by phenomenal swedish singer, Robert Beachgrove. Besides Ultraboss, PJ d'Atri is also guitarist of german 80s-retro-music producer Sebastian Gampl and regularly works with Cody Carpenter on various projects. He has four instrumental guitar albums available on Spotify under his own name.His new 14 song long player "Slow Motion Rider" will be released on all platforms via Rosso Corsa Records on November 26th 2024.Featuring the superhuman and massive talents of Till Wild & Robert Beachgrove!
Album:
Synthwave has become the music genre that perhaps better recaptured the ’80s fun. What initially started as nostalgic video game-like sounds, in recent years Synthwave artists developed into full-band products.One of the leaders in this matter is ULTRABOSS, basically a duo of vocalist Robert Beachgrove and songwriter / multi-performer PJ d’Atri, which plays electric guitar and bass, while their albums always feature guests performing real saxophone, piano, etc. – ‘real’ mean actual instruments, not programming.So ULTRABOSS albums sound like a real rock&pop band, and their new offering “Slow Motion Rider” should be their best: 14 tracks in total with 4 being instrumentals. The secret of ULTRABOSS success is simple: strong songwriting. The songs are good, very good.Imagine if Kenny Loggins had recorded another album in 1984: this is “Slow Motion Rider”. Robert Beachgrove is a wonderful, colorful singer with that ’80s training, and despite this being a synthwave / rock&pop album, d’Atri play more guitar solos here than many hard rock acts did in their recent albums.Take notice; in the credits of “Slow Motion Rider” ULTRABOSS wrote: ”This album is dedicated to Randy Rhoads, Jason Becker, Eddie Van Halen and Johann Sebastian Bach”.Oh yeah: if you’re a fan of Synthwave you need this album, if you’re a fan of AOR you need this album, if you’re fan of ’80s culture, you need to hear “Slow Motion Rider”.
