THE REVIEW

tapesfromtheloop (aka William Buscicchio) releases a new single: "Commodrome", out on 04/24/2026 on all streaming platforms and digital stores, which anticipates the new album: "Lost Themes From Arcadia", available from 05/29/2026.

The track "Commodrome", with its synths, recalls the rhythmic pulses of Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration"; it comes across as a small soundtrack to an '80s movie, telling a truly dystopian story
through synthesizers and drum machines with a deeply retrowave flavor.

Recommended for those who love the atmospheres of "Blade Runner" or the more recent "Stranger Things", and for all those who have the synthwave scene and sci-fi soundtracks in their hearts, awaiting the concept album to be released in May.

Stay tuned
