Sometimes you come across a band name that just gets it—one that perfectly encapsulates the vibe, the sound, the entire aesthetic in a neat little package. Boise, Idaho’s very own synthpop quartet, Classtronaut, nails this right out of the gate. Their double single, “Chemical Reaction” and “Gee Whiz,” is a neon-soaked journey through pulsating beats, retro-futuristic melodies, and spacey vibes that fully embraces the “astronaut” side of their name.

First up, “Chemical Reaction.” This track is the musical equivalent of a neon-green comet streaking across a starlit sky. The vocals have this delightful spacetime distortion—just warped enough to feel futuristic without losing that human touch.

If “Chemical Reaction” is the brooding late-night drive through a neon-lit cityscape, “Gee Whiz” is what happens when you finally pull over and hit the dancefloor. It’s upbeat, bursting with infectious energy, and honestly, it just makes you want to move.

The choice to release these two tracks together was spot-on. They complement each other in a way that shows off the full range of what Classtronaut can do. One side is introspective and cosmic, while the other is lighthearted and irresistibly catchy.

If you’re craving something fresh, something that bridges the gap between retro and next-gen, Classtronaut’s double single is definitely worth a spin. From the spacey vibes of “Chemical Reaction” to the bright, bouncy rhythms of “Gee Whiz,” these tracks are a killer introduction to a band that’s aiming high. And if this is what they’re capable of now, I can’t wait to see where their spaceship goes next.
