In German, we call it Synthiepop.
Recently, there has been starting a big buzz about La Roux, that English synth pop duo with that red haired singer and the dude squeezing the most early 80s sounds heard since 1982 out of his machines. Even though I don’t believe that the hype will last longer than this year’s summer, I must admit that they probably did this year’s chorus melody with their song Bulletproof.
Anyway, here is another example, apparently not signed to a major record company (yet), but within the same genre, and as well capable of sweet old-fashioned synth pop melodies: Watching Spaceships.
