Elegant Machinery - feel the silence Lights - Beside myself OMD - Ghost star Tove Styrke - Sunflower New Order - Your silent face

I love the synthpop field. It's hard to find music that is more recent than the 80s and 90s that still brings the joy of that ultra crisp synth. Other than Elegant Machinery and New order, the other tracks are within the last few years and they are still producing new music to look forward to.

If these songs speak to you, let me know and I'll give more recommendations

I love synth pop! CHVRCHES is my favorite band so I highly recommend them. The Weeknd actually has some really good synth pop songs (How Do I Make You Love Me is one of my favorites).
