I'm sure many of you are familiar with the Finnish synth/retrowave group known as Nightstop. Albums of theirs like "Streetwalker" and the single, "Drive by Stalking" have been staples in the genre for years.

Well, I'm here to tell you that their new album is very different from their previous works. It's a surprisingly magnificent evolution and easily a masterpiece!

Here's the description from their website (cleaned up for English):

"DEAD GIRLS DON'T DANCE" (2023) is a more-sinister and dangerous dark electro than our previous Streetwalker synthwave-style releases. The album is inspired by the ultraviolent "Berserk" manga and anime classics like "Akira" and "Cyber City Oedo 808". It's a love letter to 80s and 90s Japanese cyberpunk pop culture with a pinch of western imagination. The atmosphere revolves around themes of despair, trust, and betrayal in a Blade-Runner-style dystopia with blade-wielding androids mixed with occult demons and devils.
