Miami Horror

I've never listened to a Miami Horror album all the way through. They are just one of those bands that I'd include in my 'driving to the raquetball club for my morning aerobic sesh' mix. Their shit is the perfect balance of upbeat synth and shimmying up your one-size-too-small spandex shorts.

Well, that is until today.

Miami Horror's latest album All Possible Futures came out in April, but I'm just hearing it for the first time. My morning was a blank slate musically, and I saw their album come across my Del-box (inbox folder filtered for Del recommendations) and thought 'what the Fuck?.' Having no idea if I was going to hit and quit one or two tracks, I cautiously proceeded into track one toe first. I flicked the water around a little and slid right in.

And let me tell you....that slide was way too easy: past the knees, past the junk (with no temperature change gasp), past the shoulders....all the way until I was submerged. Listening to this album was like a dream where I could breathe under water and perfectly sculpted people with no body hair were swimming around me drinking cocktails and throwing frisbees. Don't ask me how that is even possible. It's my dream and the rules of physics do not apply!

All Possible Futures is like how people in the 80's imagined the future....before there were reality shows, studies on climate change, and internet comment sections. Miami Horror hits you with the futuristic while still managing to sound retro. It's almost a perfect medium between M83 and Daft Punk.

So get on your neon tanks and lenticular Nike high tops, record a jumping high five with your BFF on Insta with slo-mo effect, and use this album as that soundtrack.
