RUNAWAY DROID | LIGHTYEARS

Runaway Droid Releases Epic Outerspace-Themed LP “LIGHTYEARS”

Helsinki, Finland has a growing synthwave scene that has been making waves in the global synth community for some time, centering around a main hub known as The Helsinki Synth City. One of their premiere artists is Finnish metal guitarist, artist and producer RUNAWAY DROID (a.k.a. ANA). The prolific yet enigmatically stylish artist has released his 4th full-length record, LIGHTYEARS, inspired by themes of outerspace exploration in the future. The record seamlessly blends a multitude of electronic genres spanning synthwave, retrowave, cyberpunk, future funk, post-punk, to pop, rap, rock and metal to create a cinematic atmosphere while carrying some serious bangers with iconic references. The album features several vocal collaborations from fellow global synth artists: C Z A R I N A (New York City) on the post-punk Michael Jackson homage “Moonwalker,” Mark Cooper (Detroit) on “Trek Wars” and “On the Line,” Colin Cayvz (Las Vegas) on “Thunder in Your Eyes,” Levinsky (Helsinki) on “Rocket Machine,” Millennium Falck (Helsinki) on the Bon Jovi cover “It’s My Life,” and R0kyu (Helsinki) on “Hellbound.”
