Tame Werewolf Releases Italo Disco Inspired Track "5th Wave"
Blast off into the synth-wave world of Tame Werewolf, the electronic artist from Tehran, Iran blending J-Pop and Italo Disco.
Tame Werewolf's discography evokes 80s anime late-night aesthetics, the upbeat melodies of early Nintendo soundtracks, and granular sounds of old-school-style arcade games. He creates a unique retro electronic sound by incorporating space-synth, Italo-Disco, City Pop, vaporwave and Eurobeat influences.
Formed in 2018 by Keivan Hosseini, Tame Werewolf has since released two albums, and now his latest single, "5th Wave." Being raised as an only child, Keivan picked the keyboard as his best friend and began his exploration of music with early Persian pop, Jean-Michel Jarre, Giorgio Moroder and Koto.
He later took inspiration from Yellow Magic Orchestra and the 16-bit-age of Yuzo Koshiro, as well as the indie electro-pop of the 2010s, like M83, Hot Chip and Crystal Castles. The video game influences came in 2017 while playing “Streets of Rage,” sparking a deep dive into 80s inspired genres, eventually leading him to the Synth Wave world.
Tame Werewolf makes easy fans of those familiar with Tatsuro Yamashita, Khruangbin, and those chill-wave compilations on YouTube. We recommend starting with "Phasermania," "Lost in Lush Heavens," and "5th Wave."
