Phoenix-based trio Rare Kreature enthrall with a driving ’80s nostalgia on new track “Nowhere Seen,” which showcases the band’s consuming post-punk revivalism and synth-laden integrations. New-wave and goth-rock inspirations play enjoyably throughout, meshing well with lyrics that echo David Lynch’s Twin Peaks and its sense of forest-shrouded mystery.

A lonesome guitar progression finds fellowship in a buzzing synth reflection and percussive pulse. Moody vocals follow with a suavely nostalgic tint, reminiscent of Twin Shadow. Chiming synths upon the “keeps me warm when the skies are gray,” add beautifully to the immersive soundscape, consuming throughout with its post-punk, new-wave, and synth-pop inclinations. A mid-point dash of dexterous guitars propels the vigor further. “Nowhere Seen” has me firmly anticipating Rare Kreature’s next release.

Per the band: “This track takes you on a journey into a setting similar to Twin Peaks that beautifully portrays the the American Northwest.”
