Arcade Apocalypse has just released their latest EP, “Apocalypse Sunrise and Expect Magnetic,” and it’s a vibe you won’t want to miss. With a fresh collaboration with Jason Banning, this two-track collection weaves retro synth-pop with introspective themes that hit close to home. The EP takes you into a space of thinking, growing, and discovering who you are, all wrapped up in fun, catchy songs that will stay with you long after the music ends.
Expect Magnetic
First up is “Expect Magnetic,” a song that feels like a soundtrack for those moments when you’re caught between wanting to connect with someone and realising it’s time to pull away. The lyrics open with an invitation to reflect— “It’s time to review everything that’s been done to you”—a gentle nudge to check in with yourself and assess whether past experiences are still serving you or just weighing you down. As the song moves along, you can feel the shift from frustration to empowerment. It’s a reminder to set boundaries and take control of your emotional space. By the end of the track, you’ll feel like you’ve been given permission to let go of what no longer serves you.
Apocalypse Sunrise
Then comes “Apocalypse Sunrise,” a track that feels like stepping into a new day. The title itself is a metaphor for endings and beginnings—the end of one chapter and the start of another. The song is about letting go of mental clutter and giving yourself the space to breathe and rebuild. There’s something hopeful about the idea of an “apocalypse” followed by a “sunrise”—it’s about finding beauty in destruction and rebirth. It’s an anthem for anyone going through a transition, whether that’s letting go of a past relationship, embarking on a new journey, or simply making peace with who you are now.
Together, these two tracks offer more than just music; they offer a moment to pause, reflect, and think about what truly matters. Arcade Apocalypse has managed to blend catchy synth melodies with powerful messages of growth and transformation, creating an EP that feels both timeless and timely. If you’re looking for music that’ll make you feel something while getting your feet tapping, “Apocalypse Sunrise and Expect Magnetic” is the perfect soundtrack for wherever you are on your journey.
