This is exactly the flavor of electro pop that I fell in love with in college, reminds me a little bit of Phoenix, with an added hint of 80s pop, which just feels like a nice mix. The vocals really nail a well-composed and minimal vibe, just with the harmony, and the layering, while the rhythm section puts down a solid dance groove to enjoy it from.

Latest single "Wreck" is a fantastic showcase of modern production magic, featured against a backdrop of retro synth pop. The accompanying music video doesn't tell a story as much as it evokes a number of different strokes on the spectrum of nostalgia, focusing on black-and-white and often grainy images to create a sense of timelessness, and a sort of vintage patina. "Wreck" is a fun and upbeat track from this German-American modern pop artist.
