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
Night Drive by Timecop1983 was one of the first synthwave album I ever heard. At that time, I didn't know that it would become one of my favored synthpop albums of all time. I like the alternation between vocal and instrumental tracks. It gives you time to breath and prepares you for the next one. Of all the vocalists taking part in this project, I do have to admit in only knowing The Midnight, but all the other signers sound like they would be a blast to listen to in my spare time.
