Retrolust

Retrolust is a Californian duo that sashays into your various sensory organs with a vibrant revival of synthpop tweaked with modern electronic elements and salty tongue-in-cheek lyrics. It all started when a post-punk preemie usurped a middle-aged ninja turned 80's pop-wannabee to a make song about a serial killer which immediately topped the charts at Icompositions.com. The unlikely pair got turned on by the attention and continued working together. Within a few months they birthed (with the aid of a generous midwife) their first album Bad Reception, but that wasn't enough for the rambunctious duo. The music kept coming and before 2007 was out, Retrolust had completed two more albums, Pump It and Wired. They had perfected and honed their sound and method and gained a loyal following.

Nearly a year later, Retrolust are back with their fourth album Stereoroids featuring eight tracks of that signature sound everyone has come to love. Fans of Duran Duran, Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode will really dig this exclusively digital release. Here are a couple of tunes to put you in the proper mood...
