When was the last time you heard a really cool chiptune band? If it has been a while, Boston’s Battlemode wants to be the latest to fill the void. But this particular song is more like what happens when the emo trap is run through a video game filter. Still, their difference is that you are offered the ability to dance off the ennui. “Game Over” is a kiss-off track that addresses love that is more manipulative than anything. Ascending lead synths behind sparkling pads, mechanical vocals, and lyrics that approach such coldness with the energy of a doctor with a scalpel, all adding to the track’s equivalent to a tired sigh. If you have ever felt the nearing end or that the end of a relationship has approached itself, this song may be for you.
