Artist spotlight today features Electric Seagulls and their aptly named single: Outrunner. The name is a wordplay on the Outrun style and the track contents itself.
The track starts with a screeching halt. That is, with the loud noises of heavy braking. The fast paced base and subtle drums serve as a perfect set up for the Outrun mood. While we get forward with a short but seemingly friendly intro with tasty pads, some heavy guitar solo jumps in and elevates the mood even more.
The guitar is accompanied with some power pads in the background then another bridge brings some variation and prepares us the second guitar solo which emphasizes that indeed we’re listening to an Outrun track.
The slow part fits nicely into the arrangement with some clever arpeggios but this is just a distraction. Another smashing guitar solo comes, this time it’s very different. It is very well made, goosebump-inducing.
The outro just wraps up things after the song itself made its statement: it is a true Outrunner.
The track is available on Spotify as well.
Definitely recommended and as always, consider supporting your fellow artists.
