Electric Piano Resurgence

There's a secret weapon in the arsenal of an increasing number of alternative and indie pop bands: the distinct sound of an electric piano — part fuzz, plink and buzz — that hooks you immediately. Able to conjure both psychedelia and soul, the future and the past, the sound once relegated to ‘80s nostalgia has made a comeback in recent years, attracting buzzworthy bands worldwide. This playlist showcases the best of that group featuring Future Islands, The War on Drugs and Lower Dens.
