Yellow Brit Road 10 October 2021: Synthpop History, FOCUS Wales, Singaporean Shoegaze

What didn't happen on the Yellow Brit Road this week? Treading down this leaf-strewn path, we had word from an authority on the 80s, Trevor Horn, touched down in Wrexham for the incredible FOCUS Wales festival (fyi they had a tiny Canadian showcase week too. Showcase festivals are the best things in the world and they can have everything), had some great synthpop releases, talked about the rise of shoegaze and indie scenes in south eastern Asia, and had great submissions and music per usual!
