"With this smooth and evocative single, the project continues down a path of merging cutting-edge electropop, future funk, and indie sounds. The music video for “Afterglow” gives fans a look into the live performance that the guys have been working hard on - the duo performs with Blake on vocals, keyboards, and programming, and KJ on drums, percussion, and bass, of course with their signature eye and face adornments."
