After Dark ist das bahnbrechende Debütalbum des Synthwave-Pioniers Essenger. Indem er cineastische Synthesizerlandschaften mit einer dunklen, futuristischen Note erschafft und sie mit persönlichen Texten und Songwriting-Touch unterlegt, hat Essenger eine eindringliche und wunderschön produzierte Aufnahme geschaffen, die sich von allem anderen im Synthwave-Genre bisher unterscheidet.
Essenger hat auch eine bemerkenswerte Gruppe von Mitwirkenden für das Album zusammengestellt. Von der dystopischen Atmosphäre von "Empire of Steel" mit Scandroid über das düster-schöne Duett mit Lexi Norton auf "Downfall" bis hin zur Metal-inspirierten Aggression von "Lost Boys" mit Young Medicine - jeder Track auf After Dark hat seine eigene Persönlichkeit und hält viele Ã?berraschungen für den Hörer bereit. - After Dark is the breakout debut album from pioneering synthwave artist Essenger. By building cinematic synthscapes with a dark, futuristic edge and infusing them with personal lyrics and songwriting touches, Essenger has crafted an immersive and beautifully produced recording that is unlike anything else in the synthwave genre to date.© &? 2021, FiXT Neon.
