‘Drifters’ by STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION

Tokyo-based artist STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION is well known for his enchanting tracks that are often featured as theme songs for popular anime shows. His latest release, ‘Drifters’, is no exception. Not only is the single a captivating dance-pop anthem, but it is also the ending theme for the hit show Synduality: Noir. STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION transcends musical boundaries with ‘Drifters’.

In typical STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION fashion, ‘Drifters’ is a combination of several genres that create an ethereal feeling. A dance-pop foundation gives the track a catchy, fun vibe, but the analogue synth samples interwoven with a comforting melody give the song a calming ambience. STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION uses vocal processing to enhance this effect.

“This song is perfect for times when you want to unwind, like during a leisurely drive! Maintaining a positive mindset is crucial in living each day to the fullest,” he says. “It is important to always have a sense of purpose, think consciously, and act with intention as the key to living flexibly.”

‘Drifters’ is set to play as the ending theme to Synduality: Noir’s second season, which premiered on January 9, 2024.
