Future Islands is a living embodiment of the 80s synth sound. Lots of New Order bass with various other 80s synth sounds mixed in. The only thing that's unique is the vocals.
But even indie folk darlings like Angel Olsen aren't immune to the influence of 80's synth. This is the only song on her album that sounds like this, and it's similar to the kind of stuff you'd find on the Stranger Things soundtrack.
And if I could just for a moment recommend a band that was often overlooked in the 80's: Yaz, AKA Yazoo. Amazing vocals and some innovative melodies.
