This is giving us slight Spandau Ballet vibes, like some melancholy keening you'd hear at dusk in the summer of '88—and what is "chillwave" if not the contemporary incarnation of the New Romantics, anyway? Young Empires are from Toronto, where they are pals with fellow hometown electronic heads Azari & III, but are presumably much sadder if the tone of this song is to be believed. If this beautiful, rainy song starts to bum you out, savor it for just one more minute, then head over to their MySpace for a couple other pretty tracks that are more disco angst than wistful swaying.
