Resurrection by Baldhero & Van Whelan
Hero’s Journey is the second full-length and third release from Canadian synthwave stalwarts Baldhero & Van Whelan. The duo’s trademark driving beats and soaring pulses are ever present, but this album changes tack to chart a more purposeful course, evoking a wider range of emotions along the way. Follow our hero as they are lifted from the banal, into the trepidation of the call, through the challenges and ordeals of the journey, towards an ultimate ultrasonic climax. The soundtrack to the life you wanted to lead, Hero’s Journey will transport you, via neon-lit streets and desert highways, to a futuristic destination you’ll arrive at again for the first time.

Kicking open the next sonic frontier, BHVW insist that all synthwave isn't created equal. The latest album, “Hero’s Journey”, charts the rise of a protagonist riding the soundtrack of some of the most familiar sounds you’ve never heard before. Indebted to the past, never derivative, yet at once accessible and challenging, nostalgic and progressive and unabashedly your father’s synthwave.
