My first single! 

I wrote this song about that first awkward and horrible encounter you have with someone you recently broke up with in public. Bumping into them in a club when you are out with your friends and they are out with theirs and they are being so.... weird. All the feelings you have for them are still the same, but somethings different now, you're no longer together. Maybe the messages had been confused for a while, and you weren't quite sure if you were on a break or actually over, but based on their reaction to you in that moment, it becomes painfully clear.

Let me know if you want me to drop the remix!

Weird

- Made this song
- ages ago and
- kept coming back
- to it, so I tried
- to finish it off
- for you.

Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam (Last Thrill Remix)

Why can't it just be Summer already? 

I would much appreciate a follow and comment if you enjoy this, let me know!

Why Can't It Be Summer

This is my take on a big synth-pop banger! I've been really inspired by 80's synth music recently and I hope my modern spin on this comes through.

Sad tracks set to big dance instrumentals are what I'm about! If you like this sort of stuff, give me a follow and drop me a message! I will uploading new stuff to Soundcloud fairly regularly before it goes to Streaming.

- that you and me could be reality, yeah.

Closer

Be Yourself

If you're feeling
like you're out of control
and you can
hold onto them or
let them go
if you can
stop feeling like you're healing too
slow
and want the whole wide
world to know...

Feeling Good Now

🎶 "Dance, Dance, Dance" 🎶 is a high-energy pop anthem that's not just about hitting the dance floor – it's a musical embrace for those navigating tough times. With a catchy, uplifting chorus and an infectious beat, this track rallies around supporting a friend through the lows of a breakup-induced depression. It's a celebration of resilience and friendship, urging you to groove your way through the storm and be there for those who need it most. 🌟✨ Enjoy friends x

Psycho Killer has been my favourite song for a very long time. I wanted to give cover it in my own style, while paying homage to the great Talking Heads and the legend David Byrne.

Enjoy friends.

Psycho Killer

Doesn't need to mean a lifetime, I don't want it all,
Just know that I'm not selfish, I just cant let you go.
Leave me in the morning, don't leave me in the night,
I'm sorry if that's selfish or if it sounds contrived.

Before You Have To Go

Lately

Last Thrill, the brainchild of Glasgow-based artist Darren Russell, is a one-man powerhouse dedicated to crafting a distinctive sound within the realm of synth-pop. Channeling the spirit of iconic 80s bands like Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, and Daryl Hall & John Oates, Last Thrill seamlessly blends nostalgic influences with modern production sensibilities.

Darren, as the sole force behind Last Thrill, not only lends his soulful voice to the project but also takes charge of songwriting and production. Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Scotland, he weaves together massive synth-pop beats that pulsate with energy, setting the stage for anthemic choruses that demand attention.

The magic of Last Thrill lies in its ability to juxtapose these infectious, dance-worthy melodies with poignant, hard-hitting lyrics. With a thematic focus on heartbreak, depression, and anxiety, Last Thrill's music becomes a cathartic journey—a sonic exploration of the human experience's highs and lows.

As Darren brings his personal experiences and emotions to life through Last Thrill, each track becomes a testament to resilience and self-expression. In a world where synth-pop meets raw vulnerability, Last Thrill stands as a testament to the enduring power of music to connect and heal.

Last Thrill's journey unfolds on Soundcloud, where demos, previews, remixes, and covers offer a glimpse into the creative laboratory where musical magic takes shape. Enquiries can be directed to d@rrenpop.com
