FM Attack is a synthwave project created by Shawn Ward, hailing from Vancouver, Canada. Since its inception in 2009, FM Attack has been among the forerunners of the retrowave and synthwave movements, genres that blend the decidedly nostalgic sounds of 1980s synthpop with contemporary production sensibilities. Ward's music is characterized by its atmospheric synthesizers, pulsating basslines, and a retro-futuristic vibe that harks back to the neon-lit ambiance of the 80s while remaining thoroughly modern.

Over the years, FM Attack has garnered a dedicated following, thanks to the release of impactful albums like "Dreamatic" in 2009 and "Deja Vu" in 2013, which have become cornerstones of the synthwave genre. The evolution of FM Attack's sound is evident in his latest releases, such as "Cosmic," "Strange Ways," "Timeless," and "Cosmic Voyage," where dreamy melodies intertwine with ethereal soundscapes. The project also showcases versatility with tracks like "City Lights" and its Jasper De Ceuster Remix, as well as the emotive "Cry Cry Cry" and the soothing "Candlelight," all of which cement FM Attack's status as a revered name in the electronic music scene, appealing to aficionados of vintage synth and new wave enthusiasts alike.
