This bubbly beat comes courtesy of Tokyo’s Yuichi Nagao, and it is a nice bleep-blooper full of bouncy details (the way those synths intersect with one another! how hopeful this sounds!) and just a fun little groover. Listen below.
It’s pretty easy to make jokes about Urkel-O’s before calling Dorian a great example of 80’s revivalism. Just check the short teaser clip they put together for their recently released album Studio Vacation – cartoon lady looks like she belongs on a Duran Duran sleeve.
