After spending the last few years churning out a wealth of warm and invigorating electro-pop delights, Canadian duo continue the support for their eagerly-awaited new EP with the vibrant new single ‘Number One’.
‘Number One’ sees the pair in fine spirits as they channel a rich and euphoric aesthetic. Filled with bright and illuminating textures, a sweeping atmosphere, and glossy hooks throughout, Retrofile continue to cement themselves as one of the more enjoyable names doing the rounds today.
Adding about the new track, they said, “’Number One‘ was loads of fun to write. The initial demo track we recorded sounded a bit like The Cars, so we played around with lyrics and decided to write about ACTUAL cars. It’s all a bit tongue in cheek here…
“We thought it would be hilarious to write a track that seems like a typical love song on the surface but is actually about being in love with your car. It isn’t too far off either. We all know that one person who spends an unhealthy amount of time in their garage.
Of all the tracks on the EP, ‘Number One’ probably leans the closest to indie rock. The driven guitar tones are crucial to the feel here and the chorus is big and open.”
Retrofile’s new single, ‘Number One’, is out now. Their forthcoming EP is due to drop 14th September 2023.
