The 11th release from Mexican retro synthpop act Horizonte Lied comes laden with classic synth tones loaded with nostalgia and groove on its 9 tunes. An update, a remaster, and a remix of their debut album, Memorias de Crónicas Futuras is a work worth checking out if you’re seeking a spot of 80s dark synth wave music.

 Based in Monterrey, Mexico, Horizonte Lied is an act specialized in a brand of industrial, dark, and acidic synth-led music, cohesive lyrical concepts, and bustling mixes and arrangements, and their latest release is no different. The album boasts quite a strong sonic footprint. A strain of dense reverb and threatening bass sounds with corrosive synth pads and stabbing leads, all going with the foreboding singing style of the band’s baritone vocalist. The electronic grooves are consistently fresh throughout Memorias de Crónicas Futuras, with the snappy drum machines given a consistently prominent role in the mix throughout these songs. The lyrics, sung in Spanish, encompass a wide array of emotions that are concerned with love and its phases from the start to the end and touch on social topics and faith.

 Memorias de Crónicas Futuras is a solid release from a band of dark pop veterans that has a loyal base of followers and a really distinct sonic character that is only propagated further with this release from Monterrey’s Horizonte Lied.
