Starwalker - "Everybody's Got Their Own Way" (Stereogum Premiere)

Air’s Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Bang Gang’s Bardi Johannsson write twinkly, spacey synth rock under the fitting name of Starwalker, and we’ve been enjoying their work for a while. Last month they shared a video for “Le President,” the first single off their self-titled debut album. Today they’re back with details on that album and another new song, a wide-eyed, congratulatory anthem with dazzling key melodies and a markedly smiley, catchy rhythm. “Everybody’s Got Their Own Way” ascends sky-high by building layers of laser synth lines, and even a flute at one moment, until reaching a fluttery climax. There’s something spiritually cleansing about this track, like it exists purely for elation — to uplift and pat you on the back. Listen below.
