Disco Lizard – See You in Paradise

Synth pop with a gripping drive

The Croatian artist "Disco Lizard" com­bines clear synth pop with an impress­ive energy here that reminds me of the club clas­sic ‘Papillon’ by The Editors. If you like that song, you'll prob­ably like ‘See You in Paradise’ just as much.

The vocals are an abso­lute high­light. Warm, clear and emo­tion­al, they cre­ate a strong con­trast to the driv­ing, almost mil­it­ary struc­ture of the beat. This mil­it­ary under­tone is emphas­ised by subtle drum rolls, as known from mil­it­ary marches. I find this mix­ture of dynam­ics and feel­ing par­tic­u­larly suc­cess­ful. The song is simply con­struc­ted without ever seem­ing banal – each pas­sage has its pur­pose, and the trans­ition between the indi­vidu­al parts feels seamless.

The mix is clean, the synths are power­ful and pre­cise, and the energy of the track is per­fectly cap­tured. In terms of con­tent, Disco Lizard addresses the dual­ity and inner con­flicts of the human mind. It's well worth a listen!
