The Pacific Northwest’s synth-pop maestro extraordinaire, Copy, is back with a brand-new album of romantically charged music made in the bedroom for the dancefloor. Before Hard Dream hits retailers, we’ve got an exclusive first taste of the forthcoming record with the track “Breakfast.” The shimmering instrumental showcases producer Marius Libman continuing work with his brand of playful-yet-somber electronic music, crafting the song’s solid backbone with a poignant bassline and straightforward dance beat before adorning the rest of its five minutes with a number of melodic, analog tones. If you spent endless hours of your youth parked in front of side-scrolling adventures games on your NES, then this song will definitely light up your brain’s nostalgia region. It should be safe to assume the rest of Copy’s ten-track third album will follow suit, but we’ll just have to patiently wait for September 21 to roll around to find out.
