Shades of Thunder - "A Night in Custody"

Shades of Thunder's debut release on the renowned Synthwave label NewRetroWave is an immersive auditive storytelling experience that combines impressionistic Synthwave textures with dark and moody moods. The duo from Vienna, consisting of Powernerd and Edictum, have been working on Shades of Thunder for almost two decades and their first release, A Night in Custody, takes the listener on a journey through a classic 80s/90s New York City night scene, reminiscent of popular police series like 21 Jump Street.

The artwork for the release was created by the talented Bernhard Binder, and Shades of Thunder's sound is a blend of future funk, synth pop, and nu-disco, resulting in a unique take on the ever-evolving genre of synthwave and outrun. Powernerd's jazz guitar roots and self-invented electronic music gadgetry mesh perfectly with Edictum's classical music and techno house beginnings, forming a compelling and highly addictive sound.

Fans of classic police dramas and synthwave enthusiasts alike will enjoy Shades of Thunder's debut release, which promises to be the first of many fantastic works from this dynamic duo.
