The Cromulon Twins, made of Serlöf and Dewitt Sound from Mérida, Mexico, are constantly inspired by the energy chiptune and low-fi music can emit. Capturing that same vibe but with contemporary sound design and future bass techniques, the Cromulon Twins give us this immaculate dance EP, glistening with character and poise.

lyrics
I can't recall the last time that I stopped to watch the trees
The days are gettin' shorter, soon my legs will start to freeze
And now the sense of wonder it gets so hard to find
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
Have you tried to close your eyes and take a breath?
Just take a break from tryin' too hard
Have you tried to close your eyes and take a breath?
Just take a break from tryin'
Don't try to escape, 'cause everything will travel with you
Outside may be different, but the lens you see through never changes
The ones that you love, they wanna see you bloom and rise up
The higher you climb, the closer your sight will reach home
There's someone out there, hangin' with the snow man
The coldest heart thats been around, hidin' in those bangs
Is the time of gainz, the frigid feeling hits
I feel the winter breeze is blowin' on my neck again
Untangling our dreams, shit life ain't what it seems
Should have finished the degree but I,
Dropped out so let me be now, yeah I
Tapped out so let me breathe now
(They Said) Merry Merry Merry, Whats the hurry
What you mean? You got somewhere to go,
Other places you should be (now)
Inside my own head, another place id rather be
Escaping it like Dillinger outside i cannot see
The higher the climb, the harder goes the fall
Sometimes i think of myself as the foe
Im my own enemy, just like Gyllenhaall
Don't try to escape, 'cause everything will travel with you
Outside may be different, but the lens you see through never changes
The ones that you love, they wanna see you bloom and rise up
The higher you climb, the closer your sight will reach home
Have you tried to close your eyes and take a breath?
Just take a break from tryin' too hard
Have you tried to close your eyes and take a breath?
Just take a break from tryin'

BITTER ROOTS might be my favorite, but plenty of other tracks on NEON DEATH compete for that spot. Soft spot for SKYWAY, which reminds me of the 3rd Strike soundtrack. hyperpunk
