The Australian band 'Hoxton' manages to bridge the gap between 80s notalgia sound and modern relevance with their fantastic synth pop song 'Lead Fumes Leadership'. The track is taken from the EP 'Patterns'. I would especially like to recommend this song to all 'New Order' fans. The vocals are harmonious, soft and soothing and the guitar is (thankfully) used very subtly in this synth driven track.
Hoxton talks about the song 'Lead Fumes Leadership': "A tribute to 80's new wave; arpeggiators, drum machines and chorused guitars. The 80's seemed like a decade of wild growth and unlimited potential. In contrast, the lyrics of Lead Fumes Leadership, express the frustration of feeling unrepresented by our leaders, in the face of climate change and massive inequality, and elected officials who are beholden to massive, green washing corporations and not the people they should represent. All delivered with an upbeat hook!".
