Dream American

DBM271 5 ALARM DOWN BOYS MUSIC

These retro tracks are evocative of the best of 70s and 80s American radio pop-rock. The choruses are enormous; the drums carry that familiar reverb from the 80s; the guitars, pianos, gritty vocals, and synths are throwbacks to one of America's most identifiable musical periods. These tracks would fit well in a period piece; or, these tracks would work in any scene or montage looking to achieve a retro vibe.

1. LEAVING TONIGHT 00:02:01 THIS TRACK EMANATES 80S POP BALLAD. THE PIANO CREATES A REPETITIVE FOUNDATION THAT ALLOWS THE TRACK TO BUILD TO A CHORUS THAT FEELS BIG AND SATISFYING. THE GRITTY MALE-VOCALS ARE REMINISCENT OF 80S POP-ROCK FROM THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS TRACK WOULD WORK WELL IN PERIOD PIECES.
