“Illustrateur d’une synthwave racée et sensible, Badlands mérite la découverte.”

Rising Sun · 2026
“Badlands a réalisé de jolis progrès avec ce « Rising Sun » suave et ensoleillé, ressac nostalgique évocateur d’un univers insouciant.”
Somewhere between then and now
The future we imagined became
the nostalgia we carry.

About BADLANDS
Electronic music with
a human pulse.
BADLANDS is an independent electronic music project blending synthwave, dreamwave, vaporwave, ambient textures and 80s nostalgia. Each release explores a different landscape: city lights at dawn, roads disappearing into the night, memories softened by time.
The sound moves between warmth and distance — melodic, introspective and rooted in the emotional language of the 1980s without being trapped by it.
