NEW EP // LOST IN SOUND // OUT NOW

Luke and Noah
&#x1f535;&#x1f534;
twins making music
indie pop // indie rock 

By combining the melody driven hooks of 80s pop, the rhythmic pulse of disco and the guitar/synth interplay of 00’s rock, RETROFILE burst onto the alternative music scene in 2017 with the release of their debut single Two Words. Recorded in twin brothers Luke and Noah Martino’s makeshift studio, the single became a surprise word of mouth sensation, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams within months of release and kickstarting their career. In 2019, with a wave of sold out live shows under their belts and an enthusiastic fan base backing them, RETROFILE released their debut EP Heard It All Before. Spawning two successful singles (Running and Heard It All Before), the EP saw the twins invigorate their sound and look with a blend of new wave and modern pop sensibilities. Although the global pandemic halted their live performance ambitions, RETROFILE took the downtime as chance to write and perfect material for their next EP “Lost In Sound” (out September 14 2023). RETROFILE were selected as a showcase act for Canadian Music Week 2023 and will be touring the UK &#43; Western Canada to promote the “Lost In Sound” EP.

I&#39;m running now Further away This early in the morning There&#39;s nothing left to say what the hell was going on What the hell did I do wrong I&#39;m picking up the pieces to a puzzle that will lead me to you What can I do Oh I&#39;m bending backwards Only two words Left on my mind Well I&#39;m bending backwards Only two words Left on my mind So I&#39;m running yea Further away You know there&#39;s nothing in the world That could make me go Back to you someday What the hell was going on What the hell did I do wrong I&#39;m picking up the pieces to a puzzle that will lead me to you Then ill want to get out out Oh I&#39;m bending backwards Only two words Left on my mind Well I&#39;m bending backwards Only two words Left on my mind

I'm running now 
Further away 
This early in the morning 
There's nothing left to say 

what the hell was going on 
What the hell did I do wrong 
I'm picking up the pieces 
to a puzzle that will lead me to you 
What can I do

Oh I'm bending backwards 
Only two words 
Left on my mind 
Well I'm bending backwards 
Only two words 
Left on my mind 

So I'm running yea 
Further away 
You know there's nothing in the world 
That could make me go 
Back to you someday 
What the hell was going on 
What the hell did I do wrong 
I'm picking up the pieces 
to a puzzle that will lead me to you 
Then ill want to get out 
out 

Oh I'm bending backwards 
Only two words 
Left on my mind 
Well I'm bending backwards 
Only two words 
Left on my mind

I think YouTube comments will be my new music recommendation pseudo-assistant.

To the bro from the Gorillaz vid! Thank you! &lt;3

Youtube music community is the greatest song community. Ever.

we should all comment this on other videos. It will get these guys more views

80s music is my favourite genre..when I first Heard this I thought how the hell did I never hear this? Then when I looked I knew it&#39;s not 80s .. this song is sooooooo good. The beat, the vocals (especially when it hits the high note 🎵) and then the guitar solo... it&#39;s just magical. Brilliant lads 👏👏

Wow for a song that was apparently recorded in a basement, THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!

Found this on Spotify and it’s still good I’m here to listen to it on repeat because I’m not paying for Spotify

It&#39;s unbelievable you made this in your basement. too good.

It&#39;s like a funky fusion between Depeche Mode and Franz Ferdinand. I like.

I wanna catch you at the right time Not a weekday or a work night But you&#39;re always busy, and never home Your depiction of attraction Sets me up as your destraction Waiting lately, to be alone Underneath the moonlight, I could turn it on Driving back to your house, to your favorite song A generation of romantics Getting caught up in semantics Foolish love comes off too strong Think you&#39;re afraid of really trying To show the feelings that you&#39;re hiding Why do I waste my time, at all In between the movies, I could turn it on Lighting up the dancefloor, to the break of dawn Eating at the Late Night, its where we belong I never catch you at the right time Its a feeling, that never feels right Ill call you baby, on the phone Underneath the moonlight, I could turn it on (Turn it on) Driving back to your house, to your favorite song (Favorite song) In between the movies, I could turn it on (Turn it on) Lighting up the dancefloor, to the break of dawn (Break of dawn) Underneath the moonlight (Turn It on) Driving back to your house (Favorite song) In between the movies (Turn it on) Lighting up the dancefloor (Turn it on)

I wanna catch you at the right time 
Not a weekday or a work night 
But you're always busy, and never home 

Your depiction of attraction 
Sets me up as your destraction 
Waiting lately, to be alone 

Underneath the moonlight, I could turn it on 
Driving back to your house, to your favorite song

A generation of romantics 
Getting caught up in semantics 
Foolish love comes off too strong 
Think you're afraid of really trying 
To show the feelings that you're hiding 
Why do I waste my time, at all

In between the movies, I could turn it on 
Lighting up the dancefloor, to the break of dawn 
Eating at the Late Night, its where we belong 

I never catch you at the right time 
Its a feeling, that never feels right
Ill call you baby, on the phone 

Underneath the moonlight, I could turn it on (Turn it on)
Driving back to your house, to your favorite song (Favorite song)
In between the movies, I could turn it on (Turn it on)
Lighting up the dancefloor, to the break of dawn (Break of dawn)

Underneath the moonlight (Turn It on)
Driving back to your house (Favorite song)
In between the movies (Turn it on)
Lighting up the dancefloor (Turn it on)

Quarantine has me depressed but now I’m in a groovy mood since I just found this song

We need an extended version of this track... my computer is getting hot, due to replaying this over &amp; over again.

Sounds very fresh with that 80&#39;s style

This is actually awesome. How have I never heard of this song? Let alone this group? This is straight up underrated!

Like everyone else here, I saw the dude&#39;s comment on whatever video it was, and now I&#39;m here. I normally ignore the &quot;if you like this song, check out this other song!&quot; comments, but I was kinda drunk so I just did it. Now I&#39;m in love, and I&#39;ve probably listened to this song 50 times at least in the last two days. I really hope these guys make an album, cause I&#39;ll buy it immediately. This music is good feelings. Real feelings. To me, anyways.

These guys popped up in an 80&#39;s spotify playlist on a road trip once, specifically this song.  I hought it was an 80&#39;s band I hadn&#39;t heard of. Surprised to hear they were new(ish). These guys make awesome music. This is a song impossible to NOT to sing along with and a staple of any of my playlists now.

Twin Talks is a peak into the conversations we have on a regular basis about the musicians that inspire us. We love music. Twin Talks is a reflection of that love.

Retrofile - Try So Hard (Single Version)

Retrofile // Two Words - Live (Big Winter Classic Festival) #live #Retrofile #TwoWords

We love The Strokes. They are indie rock pioneers. On this episode of Twin Talks we chat about their debut album "Is This It" and the various shenanigans that occured before, during and after the recording of said album.

Twin Talks EP. 5 // The Strokes  - Is This It

Light of Day is a walking down the street on a rainy night type of song. Since the first time we started working on it, we got night time, film noir vibes. Spooky and moody, we think? Have you had a chance to listen to it?

Kate Bush invented the headset microphone 🎤 #katebush #runningupthathillkatebush #80smusic

Kate Bush is awesome. She's a trailblazer in every sense. In this episode of Twin Talks watch us briefly cover Kate Bush's career, her magnum opus 1985 record "Hounds of Love" and her impact on popular music as a whole. Also witness our set falling apart and Noah failing to pronounce the word "Unbelievable".
