“OSCURIDAD” BY AIRHOCKEY IS A GOTH BAR DREAMSCAPE

Airhockey has mastered the art of post-punk, bedroom lo-fi, which sounds like an eclectic mishmash of words—but trust me, it works. Their production techniques belong on the aux at LA’s hottest goth bars and beyond, gracing the ears of vampiric baddies across the board.

Immediately, the track creates a certain unmistakable ambiance that is at the forefront of multiple subcultures. This kind of alternative music is never going anywhere, but it is fascinating to see what up-and-comers like Airhockey are doing with the genre.

The tune is tasteful, whimsical, and a nice blend of 80s new-wave and modern alternative lo-fi. It is artistically produced, with admirable attention to detail taking the lead.

Hopefully, as artists like Airhockey grab the aux at Bar Sinister or Cruel World Festival, generations of baby bats will feel inspired to keep these genres going strong, too.
