Tableau Vivant ignites the synth-wave scene with debut single "Incoming Signals" feat. Teggs Boyce

Tableau Vivant aims to charge the pulse of synth-wave with new static via their first single since the label's inception, "Incoming Signals," it's a deep dive into nostalgia, with fluid 80s-inspired soundscapes woven together by raw, immersive production that hasn't yet found its match in the genre.

"Incoming Signals" is the unmistakable voice of Teggs Boyce, whose soaring, emotive delivery scales the song to celestial heights. The arrangement sweats with magnetic intensity superimposed vintage synths swoosh with orchestral e-bow guitars and some atmospheric rhythms anchored by a driving, retro-flecked bass line. It's a track that's not just a nod to the golden era of 80s power ballads but reinvigorates the style with contemporary sonic and emotional heft.

Richard Gray produced a series of jagged sounds between the small, digital clarity and that of rich, analog sound in "Incoming Signals." Where much of the synth-wave landscape tends to be polished and high-gloss production, this single employs a more organic and textured approach. Gray's alt-rock upbringing pops quietly throughout the mix, providing an edge that's both comfortable and captivatingly original.
