When I find myself saying “They just don’t write songs like that anymore,” I hear my dad’s voice ringing in my ears. I enjoy listening to the evolution of music, but there’s an irresistible pull to those tunes that sound like throwbacks to my youth. So you can bet that “Cold Hearts,” the latest track from Boorloo/Perth-based act Nocturnal is right up my alley. It’s got a classic ‘80s pop-rock sound that I’m convinced will never really go out of style.
The production values could go toe-to-toe with any of the era’s popular tunes, so it’s impressive to learn that Nocturnal recorded and produced it in his home studio. The song was later mixed by Dave Parkin at Blackbird Studios, followed by a mastering session with Simon Struthers at Forensic Audio.
“Cold Hearts” comes from Nocturnal’s forthcoming EP HEARTATTACK, which will be released really soon.
