There seems to be a huge crop of beautiful synth-pop artists popping up all over the Internet these days. Today I came across one of the newest: Edith Beake.
Edith Beake is a brother-sister duo from Oak Park, Illinois. There isn't a whole lot of info about them out there; for instance, their SoundCloud profile picture is just a plain black image. No Facebook page, no Twitter account... just a few features on some blogs. However, what they lack in social media, they make up for in musical talent.
Their song "Always In Love," is an 80s inspired trip into the past. Kicking off with some simple synthesizer and delicate vocals, the track adds layer after juicy layer until it turns into a sultry dream pop anthem. It kind of reminds me of being a teenager in love in the summer, and it would probably sound even better while sitting on the hood of a car. I think it would have been the perfect addition to any of the soundtracks for John Hughes' classic flicks.
Lucky for us, it still works today. I can't wait to see what else Edith Beake has in store for us.
