The newest single from Sydney synth-rock outfit Grids and Dots ‘Imposter Friends' is out now.
A shimmery track about the perils of putting on your rose coloured glasses time and time again, despite being hurt by the people and the world around you, ‘Imposter Friends’ has “a little melancholy kept inside the sparkling energy and upbeat tempo of the song,” according to the band.
This single – which dips into the pools of 80s new wave and synth-pop – is glittering and synth-soaked, lined with stunning harmonies from vocalists Carmen Minikus and Daniel Handaru. Sonically, it is reminiscent of fellow Australian artists like Brisbane legends The Go-Betweens, as well as more recent icons Last Dinosaurs. The track, as a reminder, arrives alongside a music video that is vibrant, joyful, and wonderfully well-matched to the 80s/new wave synth aspect of the song itself. Featuring a montage of clips of the band playing their respective instruments, singing to the camera, and simply having fun together in their backyard, the music video is layered with colourful animations, blending reality with fantasy and creating an overall aesthetic which feels beautifully nostalgic and playful all at once.
