Visionary music producer and experimental artist Billy Yfantis, who featured in this blog on March 17 – https://morcanbooksandfilms.com/2024/03/17/attention-lovers-of-fine-music-greek-virtuoso-vasileios-yfantis-unveils-his-latest-album-cinematic-works-vol-iii/ – today announced the release of Lonely City, the highly anticipated second album in his groundbreaking synthwave initiative labelled Neon Planet.
Neon Planet is the brainchild of Athens-based Yfantis, bringing what can only be described as a unique perspective to the synthwave genre.
And for those unfamiliar with synthwave (also called outrun, retrowave, or futuresynth) it’s an electronic music microgenre based predominantly on the music associated with action, science-fiction, and horror film soundtracks of the 1980s.
Billy Yfantis…truly a visionary.
Yfantis says Neon Planet’s latest offering delves deep into the theme of loneliness within a futuristic cityscape.
“Lonely City marks the latest chapter in Neon Planet’s journey of sonic exploration, promising an unforgettable listening experience for fans around the globe,” he says. “It builds upon the success of the debut album Cyber City Lights, creating a sound that transports listeners to a neon-lit metropolis of solitude and introspection.”
Listening to the Lonely City album leaves no doubt that Neon Planet continues to push the boundaries of electronic music. Through pulsating beats, ethereal melodies, and evocative soundscapes, it captures the essence of urban isolation, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world where the neon glow of towering skyscrapers is the only companion.
The album’s tracklist is as follows:
Cityscape Lullaby / Echoes of an Empty Skyline / Ethereal Urban Echoes / Isolation Dreamscape / Lost in the Neon Haze / Midnight Shadows / Neon Nights in the Lonely City / Neon Trailer Music / Neonscape / Synthetic Solace
“Lonely City is now available on all major streaming platforms, making it easy for fans of synthwave, ambient, and cinematic music to embark on a sonic odyssey unlike any other,” says Yfantis. “For those seeking an escape from the mundane and a glimpse into the future of electronic music, Neon Dreams in the Lonely City is an essential addition to any playlist.”
