Plastic Horizon – “Winds of March”

“Winds of March” is a personal favorite. It has shades of Bladerunner and Outrun vibes, starts off dark and easy and continues to build into a driving track you can crank up on that overnight drive!

You can find the track available on the usual streaming platforms as well for purchase/download on Bandcamp. Check it out and have a great weekend!
