Love in the Modern Age

Josh Rouse

A surprising pivot to 1980s synth-pop and new wave textures. Shimmering, neon-lit melodies that trade acoustic guitars for drum machines and digital warmth.

A sleek, neon-lit nostalgia that balances modern digital textures with timeless melodic warmth.

Moments Worth Listening For
The shimmering synth pads that open 'Salton Sea' immediately signaling the departure from his acoustic roots.
The way the saxophone cuts through the digital sheen on 'Businessman' adding a layer of 80s sophisticated pop.
The rhythmic pulse of the title track where the drum machine creates a hypnotic, driving sense of modern isolation.
