**Cosmic – FM Attack**\
2023 • Electronic • Starfield Music\
Cassette
A local Vancouver synthwave act with just a little vaporwave creeping in around the edges.
I found this album at Red Cat Records for a pretty damn reasonable price. Never heard of FM Attack before, but with a name like that, I figured he’d probably be right up my alley.
And yeah, he is.
This is easygoing stuff. Synths that PURR, but with just enough bite to keep things moving. Danceable too. All instrumentals.
A lot of these tracks remind me of Mood Hut, the celebrated dance label based here in Vancouver. Makes me genuinely curious whether FM Attack rubs shoulders with those folks.
And the cassette sounds fantastic on my Sony deck.
This thing was recorded with care. Plenty of dynamic range. Nothing crushed flat or smeared together.
It sounds like FM Attack actually gave a damn about how the tape was going to SOUND.
