Video Age are well-documented lovers of all things ’80s. The New Orleans four-piece — the core duo of lead singer/guitarist Ross Farbe and drummer Ray Micarelli, complemented on bass and keys by Nick Corson and Duncan Troast, respectively — make immaculately crafted yacht rock that feels largely free from the post-post-modern mallaise that plagues so many bands born a few decades late.

Last month, Video Age led off the release cycle for their fourth album, Away From the Castle, with its title track, a refreshing foray into country rock.

Its follow-up, “Better Than Ever,” finds them returning to their sweet spot — a slick reassembly of early experiments in electronic pop. “Here we have an ode to songwriting partners, written by two songwriting partners,” Micarelli tells The FADER. “When one of us hits a wall, the other can usually clear a path.
