Like What marks 5 years with ‘Anniversary Anthology’ EP and new video
Like What
New York City-based cinematic synthpop project Like What has just released a new compilation EP titled “Anniversary Anthology“. The digital-only EP celebrates five years of activity and features the project’s five most popular tracks to date. The release is accompanied by a newly produced video for the band’s original debut single, “Dark is the Night.”
The self-produced project, originally formed during the pandemic lockdown as an experimental outlet, centers on a minimal production setup using only an iPad and a guitar. The result is a blend of synthpop and darkwave elements.
The track “Dark is the Night” has been given a fresh visual treatment for its anniversary edition.
About Like What
Like What was founded in New York City in 2020 as a quarantine-driven creative project. Using only an iPad and a guitar, the project began crafting self-produced tracks influenced by early electro pioneers such as Kraftwerk and by the cinematic aesthetics of horror and noir.
Like What released a series of singles and EPs independently.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
