While I can't see the direct link between Michael Ende's Neverending Story and exuberant, almost extravagant 80s synth pop, apparently a conversation about the former topic might lead to a very productive relationship concerning the latter, at least this is what happened when Aaron David Ross and Adam Griffin met in Chicago in the summer of 2006, leading to the formation of Night Gallery, a duo devoted to classic synth era sounds. In any case, this is what their debut album's press release is telling us - the only thing that puzzles me about this nice story is the fact that Night Gallery is a myspace member since February 2005, but maybe this detail shouldn't bother us too much, as Constant Struggle is full of lush wave sounds, dark and mysterious and beautiful.
Constant Struggle will be out August 10 on Rainbow Body Records as a 12 inch limited to 500 copies.
Moreover, head over here to download an excellent mix the guys did for Vice recently, 45 minutes of Golden Era synth glory.
