Stepping On Lego Shares New Single 'Teen in the Eighties'

Stepping On Lego’s latest single, Teen in the Eighties, is a brilliant fusion of nostalgic alt-pop and futuristic synth-driven soundscapes that will instantly resonate with fans of M83 and Daft Punk. Conor Waters, the Irish multi-instrumentalist behind the project, masterfully blends shimmering guitars with lush, cinematic synths to create a track that feels both timeless and strikingly modern. The soaring chorus sticks with you long after the song ends, delivering a powerful, hook-heavy anthem that captures the restless spirit of youth with a compelling edge.

Lyrically, Teen in the Eighties stands out as a sharp and poignant protest against the chaotic digital landscape we navigate daily. Waters’ evocative lines like “We’re drowning in a cloud-based nightmare” poignantly highlight the alienation beneath our hyperconnected lives, calling listeners to find authenticity amid the noise. This track isn’t just a throwback; it’s a meaningful critique wrapped in infectious melodies, inviting us all to reclaim genuine human connection in a world overwhelmed by curated illusions.

With Teen in the Eighties, Stepping On Lego sets a high bar for the upcoming debut LP Wide Eyes, promising a rich blend of alt-pop immediacy and retro-futuristic textures. Waters’ unique background as both a classically trained pianist and a doctor gives his music a rare depth and precision, making this project a standout in the alt-electronic scene. For anyone who loves music that’s cinematic, thought-provoking, and irresistibly catchy, this single is a must-listen.
