Trend towards '80s sounds in modern music

Here's another relaxing track:
Droid Bishop - Nightland

DROID BISHOP is one of my favorite synth artists. He does a terribly good job at delivering that 80's based futuristic feel

Carly Rae Jepsen, Emotion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_(Carly_Rae_Jepsen_album))

What an album. Have you heard the newly released Side B for it? It's just as good.

Similar is the latest album by Tame Impala - Currents. It's a bit more progressive, and a little bit different than some of the other songs here, but the singles off it are awesome.

I got the new Bastille album yesterday and noticed there seems to be much more of influence towards 80s sounds on their new album compared to their first one but it's not all 80s influenced, there's 90s influenced sounds as well and more current trends.

Haim are pretty good, their debut was pretty indebted to late 1970s/1980s Fleetwood Mac. Their second album is due later this year, it'll be interesting to see where they take their sound.

I'd really wish they'd get on with releasing their new album - it seems to have been 'coming soon' for a couple of years now!
