A darkened rhythm section collides with sparkling synth tones for an emotionally complex breakup track on Ace Marino’s new single, “Spaces.” The song’s steady ebb and flow provides the perfect undercurrent for powerful lyrics that assess the fallout of a broken relationship, and Ace delivers it all with an impassioned vocal delivery. Without a happy ending in sight, “Spaces” may be one of the most honest and relatable tracks a person hears all year.

“Spaces” marks the latest single from LA-based Ace Marino as he builds toward his highly-anticipated new album. Along with tracks like “Summer” and “Holding My Breath,” “Spaces” reveals a songwriter committed to pushing himself and the synthwave genre on every new release. Pulling influences from genres as varied as 80s rock and modern EDM, Ace Marino is creating music that redefines the second generation of synthwave.
