The new single hits hard from the first bar, a freshly recorded, raw fusion of Neue Deutsche Welle and electropunk that pushes forward with an almost relentless momentum, where sharp synth hooks slice through a driving beat that feels like a heartbeat sped up and, tucked between those jagged edges, a flicker of psychedelic texture…
