![]() ![]() Sayonara Wild Hearts is perfectly weighted to stop you overdosing though. There were occasions where I prayed for them to keep going just that bit longer, and the moments where they did carry on just as I thought they were coming to a close filled me with elation. As someone with an addictive personality, I don’t really know whether you can have too much of a good thing, but some of the tracks in Sayonara Wild Hearts actually made me sad when they finished after ninety seconds. With vocals from singer-songwriter Linnea Olsson and instrumental sections that shift from hard-hitting house to ambient electro it’s an album for the ages, and one that is perfectly on-point. While plenty of modern indie games are tying their flags to the synthwave zeitgeist, Sayonara Wild Hearts’ electro pop takes the ultra-catchy hooks of CHVRCHES and blends them with the atmospheric tones of M83 and the effortless cool of FM-84. It’s a pop-culture gem with a message of positivity and hope when all hope has been lost, framed by enigmatic neon-tinged visuals and set to a banging soundtrack. The fact that Simogo are a small indie development team from Sweden, centred around the duo of Simon Flesser and Magnus “Gordon” Gardebäck, is remarkable and what they’ve achieved with Sayonara Wild Hearts is exceptional.
