At its heart, synthwave music is a love letter to convertibles, night drives, sunny beaches, and ‘80s nostalgia. Staying true to the genre, the mullet-sporting Ace Marino delivers the goods on his debut EP, a six-song effort with a diverse selection of music to entice and excite fans of retro synthesizer glory. Stylistically, Cocaine Flamingo lands near the center of synthwave music, and it frequently delivers a sound that recalls early contributors to the genre such as Lost Years and Miami Nights 1984.
