What a powerhouse of a rockin' retrowave tune with ultra awesome female vocals that give it such an authentic 80's feel! More, I must have more!!!

Hours is the debut single by Welsh-Canadian duo Cymatica on Aztec Records. A sample of the unique songwriting and production that will unravel with two more singles and their debut EP in the coming months.
The understated production, simple in appearance but that reveals hidden gems on repeated listenings, carries a classic chart topping 80s sound reminiscent of Pat Leonard's True Blue.
The delicate but poignant vocals reminiscent of a young Kim Wilde or even fellow British act Chvrches, have a very personal and original tone. Carrying the song with no artificialities. This is what the band has to say about 'Hours'
'The song is about following your own path in life. For much of the world right now, lives are on pause and it feels like time is being taken away. As daunting as this can be, continue to live your truth.'
Time flies, but Cymatica has arrived to stay.
lyrics
Capture something that’s brought to life
Grabbing hold of that wheel
Crossing what’s known as the common life
Against the grain I remain
All I can be is myself
Gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds up
While I lay here collecting hours
All I can be is myself
Gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds
Up while I lay here collecting hours
Collecting hours
Always moving but I’m on the ride
Cuz I can only be real crossing
What’s known as the common life
Against the grain I’m still here
I will let you down, if you think I am
Just like the rest
Am I not allowed
The freedom of choice?
All I can be is choice
All I can be is choice
All I can be is myself
Gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds up
While I lay here collecting hours
All I can be is
Myself gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds up
While I lay here collecting hours
Collecting hours
Collecting hours
The album that introduced me to Yota, and I am so glad I found her! A superb mix of the playful and the sad; the uplifting and the melancholic. I am a grown man who have experienced plenty of sorrow in my life, but Images never fail to bring tears to my eyes along with that well-known little emotional twist to the heart; the kind that you get from deep feelings for someone or something. Synthwave perfected! complexcharacter
Fraud!
I didn't receive any goods after I paid. Every attempt to contact the artist or Bandcamp failed. I don't recommend anyone to buy here. Sorry but not sorry. With this unprofessional behavior you have lost all support and respect from me. elephant-man
I'll start by saying Control is easily one of my top 3 synthwave tracks of all time. Rain, Push it to the limit and American Dream also live rent free in my head. This album is simply a must have gabardine0
