Bio:
AOR/Retrowave melodic band from Florence, Italy.There’s many talented artists from what is called ‘synthwave movement‘ which brings back the ’80s culture not only musically, but also lyrically and via visual imagery. Italy’s LAZER CLUB is one of our favorites and we already featured their previous albums.I must say that Lazer Club, an Italian group whose superb previous album Criminal Nights, released in 2023, I had praised, also gives pride of place to the magnificent saxophone. A year after Criminal Night, A Summer Story was released, which is even better than its predecessor. I loved this album too, and it's in my top 2024, where things are starting to get seriously crowded. I think that if I knew the Italians, I would be friends with them, because the music they make is exactly what I'm looking for. Their music, imbued with a certain nostalgia, reminds us of all the music of the 80s with guys like Harold Faltermeyer and Giorgio Moroder, series like Miami Vice with a hushed, sunny, almost erotic atmosphere, with the saxophone in the foreground and breathtaking melodies. All of this is wrapped up in a titanium production. Lazer Club had the good idea of calling on big names in the synthwave movement such as Ultraboss, Magic Dance, and Kid Burn.
Album:
We already featured here previously music from LAZER CLUB, and now these Italians are releasing a new album titled “Criminal Nights“. Starting from the cover artwork the record is all about the ’80s, the neon lights, the Miami Vice looks.And indeed “Criminal Nights” is inspired by Miami Vice ‘cos despite musically this is synth-driven rock&pop with smooth vocals, this is some kind of a ‘concept album’, a story of a boy who lands in Miami and must face the harsh realities of a crime city and the difficult love of a rebellious girl.Anyway, what matters is the music, and if you love the likes of Mike + The Mechanics, Magic Dance, Cock Robin, etc, and that ’80s classy sound LAZER CLUB is for you. All songs are with vocals, include electric guitar, some heavy sax, and overall uptempo, feel-good melodies.The band occasionally dip their toe in the AOR pool too, and that’s nice to enrich the sonic palette.
