Description

ohn Paul Young – War Games

A cold-glow synth pulse wrapped in suburban paranoia — War Games finds JPY stepping away from the feather-light pop shine and leaning into something darker, sleeker, and wired with early-’80s tension. The hooks are still sharp, but there’s a quiet unease under the circuitry, like headlines humming through late-night television snow. A sleeper cut for collectors who chase left-turn singles, not the obvious chart glitter.

Key Features:

  • Artist: John Paul Young

  • Title: War Games

  • Label: Albert Productions / CBS (pressing dependent)

  • Era: Early–’80s electronic-leaning evolution

  • Style: Synth-Pop / New-Wave Drift / Cold-City Pulse

  • Notes: File under Aussie icons showing teeth, not jukebox comfort
