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. Read the review of ‘Anniversary Anthology’.
