Russian synthwave act 3FORCE have released Strange Peace, a ten-track album out since 13 October 2026 on FiXT. The label presents it as a synthwave collection built for late-night drives and packed dancefloors alike.
Much of the record has been arriving piece by piece. Seven of its ten tracks came out as singles between May and September, starting with Street Fighter on 6 May and continuing with Status Quo, Magnum, Eve, the title track and After Dark, before Borderline arrived on 25 September.
The other three, It Could Be Worse, Cruiser and Betrayal, are new with the album, and each has an official visualizer on YouTube. Betrayal closes the album, which FiXT says ends on a note of dramatic tension.
In the label’s telling, Status Quo sets the pulse, Street Fighter shifts into high gear and Magnum settles into a sleek electronic drive. The title track eases off just enough to bring the retro-futuristic mood into focus, with a darker undertone, before Borderline and After Dark head deeper into the night. FiXT sums it up as “built for the road at night: volume up, windows down.”
Aleksei Goncharenko and Dmitrii Goncharenko wrote and mixed the album, Aleksei Goncharenko mastered it, and the production is credited to 3FORCE. Alex Ricochet created the cover art, which shows three astronauts pressing their hands together on a single button in a burning red canyon as a starship passes overhead.
3FORCE debuted in 2015 with Intergalactic and followed it with Resistance in 2017. In late 2018 they signed a multi-album deal with FiXT Neon, which reissued both records. Strange Peace is their first album since Unleash, released in June 2024.
