“The Room” is a memorable new track from Copenhagen-based artist Retro Kid, from their upcoming album Who do you want to be, L.A.Byrne?. The introduction steadily unveils; piano glistening and steady percussion are joined by hypnotic vocal effects, the production fondly reminiscent of Caribou, while the subdued vocals and pulsing synths remind of Hot Chip. A wavering synth pad and added piano touch, following the “I fell back into the room,” lyric, inject added fervor into the ensuing verses. The final minute unveils a darker soundscape, the artistic implementation of piano and creaky vocal effects converging with delightful melodic results. Retro Kid’s “The Room” is an inventive track with standout songwriting and production.
