Kebu – Fleeting Lights (Video)
“Synthwave melody that is deeply inspired from a forgotten era. Organically pleasant keyboards sound and pleasant whisper of nostalgia. -Fleeting Lights- is the time to dream about the past.”
“Мелодия synthwave сильно окунает с головой в ушедшую, но так и не погасшую эпоху. Приятный проигрыш, органично звучащие клавишные и приятный шепот ностальгии. -Fleeting Lights- самое время для того, чтобы пофантазировать о былом. ”

The synthesizer wizard Kebu is back with a second single from his upcoming third studio album “Urban Dreams”. Conceived during a time of lock-downs and people living in isolation in confined spaces, this instrumental album is exploring dreams – both those occurring during sleep and daydreams.
“Fleeting Lights” is a celebration of power ballads and soft rock beats from the eighties – essentially music that surrounded and influenced Kebu when he was young. Instead of being nostalgic or witty about it, Kebu executes the uplifting and optimistic track like the world never moved on past that decade. Again, Kebu is pushing the limits of what can be done with analog synthesizers – similar to Kebu’s earlier releases, this track – and his upcoming album – consist of a sound universe made only with analog synthesizers and analog drum machines. The synths used on “Fleeting Lights” are also featured in the music video. In addition to the original mix, the single contains also a shorter radio edit.
