Synth-pop releases, week 37

This week in synth-pop, new releases and retrospectives highlight both innovation and legacy. Pet Shop Boys unveil their album 'A Man From The Future,' inspired by Alan Turing, while Working Men’s Club make their debut on Domino Records with 'Devout,' produced by Atticus Ross. Meanwhile, Violet Grohl’s cover of The Cure’s 'High' and The Magician’s billion-stream remix of Lykke Li’s 'I Follow Rivers' underscore the genre’s enduring reach. Other notable moments include Shudder To Think’s new EP, Soft Cell’s poignant ballad 'The Rainbow Room,' and a tribute to Ultravox’s 'Rage in Eden' on its 45th anniversary.
