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.

Agreed. Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet made a tremendous duo. Both of their albums are great. I always thought it would be interesting to see how Depeche Mode would have evolved if Vince stuck around. I have long been a big DM fan and have no qualms in the direction they took
