I saw them for the first time back in October after a friend got me hooked on their style. Synthwave is definitely a genre I need more of. I keep rewatching a video someone made at the concert, and it's nothing short of fantastic.

Oh man Lonely City is a fantastic track anyways but that one live hits a very niche spot in my soul. Endless Summer is classic too. That video is a great example of them live even if it doesn't have the fullness of the feeling of actually being there. When that sax hits it's just a whole other kind of feeling. I was able to be right at the stage with that in my face and I damn near lost all composure. I now understand what these guys were going through.
Awesome song, thanks for sharing!

Source = The anime movie Wicked City (1987) aka Yuujou Toshi which itself is an adaption of the 1985 novel Wicked City Kikuchi, Hideyuki (Story), Kojima, Ayami (Art). As classic as 80's anime and fiction can get.
Vampires was the second single from The Midnight’s debut album, “Endless Summer” and focuses on how while people need other people they all end up alone in the end.
The music video that was released alongside this single contains clips from the movie, Wicked City (1987)
Thanks for the contextual info!
You are welcome!
