With “Peel The Sun,” UK darksynth project VHS PANTY RIOT reveals a softer, more atmospheric side of its sound without losing the shadowy identity that makes the project so immersive. VHS PANTY RIOT pulls heavily from 80s horror soundtracks, arcade-era synth music, and darker electronic tones, but there is still a modern emotional depth running through the production. Nathan Wilde’s approach as the creator behind the project feels very immersive because the songs are not built just around hooks or drops. They feel built around mood first.
“VHS PANTY RIOT’s music carries the eerie beauty of forgotten VHS-era soundtracks.”
“Peel The Sun” itself feels like driving through empty streets after midnight while old memories keep replaying in your head. The track creates this glowing atmosphere that feels warm on the surface but emotionally restless underneath. I loved how restrained the song feels. The melodic direction here feels softer compared to heavier darksynth releases, but the darker undertones never fully disappear. The drums keep everything moving steadily without disturbing the atmosphere, and the production leaves behind a strange emotional blur. Overall, “Peel The Sun” is a track that lingers like a neon memory you cannot fully shake off.
