Battlemode: “Game Over”

Sadboi techno pop from your favorite local chiptuners. Of late, Battlemode is producing throbbing club tracks that bank on the forward propulsion of a danceable beat. Everything, everywhere, and always for the dance floor. Compare our highlighted track “Game Over” to last summer’s “Playlist,” except the electronic trio goes even deeper into the Tron-dimension with pitch-shifting vocals that keep you locked snugly into the futurist aesthetic. But strip away all the cybernetic trappings, and what you’ve got is a very human story about love on the rocks. When you’ve had all you can standz, and you can’t standz no more, you just gotta say: “Game over.”
