Shanghai Beach Exude Emotion With “Dim Lights at Neptune’s Diner”

The rain’s falling harder…

The newest single, “Dim Lights at Neptune’s Diner” by New York City darkwave project, Shanghai Beach, exudes deep emotion. With swirling, melancholy synth lines over a dance beat, Steven Salazar’s vocals bellow out and dominate the song, creating that perfect balance of hope and gloom. Baltimore-based act, Kiss of the Whip, offers up a serrated dance remix  that enhances the danceability of the song. Listen below:

Shanghai Beach has been a staple in Brooklyn’s dark underground scene for the past several years. Follow them on IG and Facebook.
