Earlier this year, on a dreary February afternoon, walking through New York City, fighting the cold with thoughts of better times and new music, I had my iPhone loaded with and planning on listening to. What stood out that day was the EP *Faulty Lines* by the UK trio [Waylayers](http://www.waylayers.co.uk/?ref=glamglare.com). The music fit right into my soft spot for synth-pop from Australia and this came just from the other side of the atlantic. I remember that I had *Braindrops* and *Magnets* on repeat this day and these tracks still get me every time – they’re highly upbeat and beautifully uplifting.

The overall sound of Waylayers is very synth driven and Harry Lee (vocals, synths) manages to modulate his voice a lot. Somewhere I read that Harry Lee would be a ‘crooner’ and was wondering, yet upon listening to *Rainbow Slide*, I understand why this statement has been made. Together with Dave Norman (bass) and Joe Andrews (guitar), he forms Waylayers and they can be seen again at SXSW 2015, because -although on my plans for this year- I missed them. 

Waylayer’s sound is somewhere between 80s **Aha** and **Human League,** then very contemporary **Cut Copy** and as I’ve just been told, they’d sound somewhat like **Coldplay** too. Well, best you listen to them yourself and start out with *Braindrops* and watch the video to Magnets.
