"Cars" by Gary Numan (f/Matt Gondek)

Synth pioneer Gary Numan was overwhelmingly bashed by critics upon his surge to the top of the UK charts in the early 80s. Music writers may not have been ready for Numan’s futuristic sound, but fans surely were. By the time he decided to take a hiatus from touring, he was doing multiple nights at Wembley Arena, not to mention opening doors for acts such as The Human League, Depeche Mode, and OMD. This week, we’re joined by artist Matt Gondek to dive into all things Numan, especially his new wave classic “Cars”.
