I JUST WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE

...from Norway band Serena-Maneesh's upcoming second album. I didn't like this track at first, now I can't stop listening to it. 
Interesting collision of 80's synth and 90's indie with touches of industrial. I found it easier to follow with headphones or a decent stereo. Laptop speakers don't convey the low end, which steers the melodic content. That sounds pretentious.

Partially. I mean that there's a lot going on; complex guitar chords, samples, keyboard pads. Which notes the bass chooses to reinforce will push it in a certain direction.
Like a painting with a complex palette - it will have a different feeling depending on the ground all those colors are on top of.
